Conclusions

Life

Like an aggressive contagion seeking the next victim, negativity can plague an entire team's morale. Negativity is contagious!

Optimism is a choice

Expect nothing, but be grateful for everything.

Programming

In programming there isn't a "right way" but there is always a "wrong way". There is however a "better way", until you run out of time.

Negotiations

Developers are actually negotiators! We negotiate more than we develop. We negotiate with the keyboard all day long, we negotiate with ourselves determining if we've taken the right course of action. We negotiate with our peers, arguing our point of views. We negotiate with the stakeholders of the application and the end-users too.

Motto

Changing the world, one line of code at a time.
