HAVE A MENTOR

This personal practice is described in My Job Went To India [ChadFowler].

Fortunetly I have a coach in my job, and I seek a lot of advice from a very talented peer.

I also consider the authors of my favorite software engineering books as mentors. I track the lessons of Kent Beck, Robert Martin, Bertrand Meyer, Martin Fowler, Mary Poppendieck, Andy Hunt ...

OPEN-UP! READ SOFTWARE ENGINEERING BOOKS AND BROWSE THE WEB

Lets avoid re-implementing the wheel!

Books and the web contain so much available and useful information.

At first, reading books on my job was a self-imposed discipline. Now, I has become a real pleasure.

THE LIST

As decribed by "Work From The List" in Ship It! [Richardson/Gwaltney], I prioritize and track my to-do activities in a list.
However my list doesn't contain the features and issues assigned to me on the project Kanban board (Don't Repeat Yourself!).
