#121 - Am I Gonna Get Fired? The 4 Biggest Mistakes in my Developer Career


Listen Later

Maybe I've fooled you.

To be transparent, I've screwed up a lot over the years as a developer.

I’ve blown up production a few times. I deleted the column without a back up. I pretended to understand and f*cked things up.

I learned a lot, got yelled at a few times and embarrassed too many times to count. Now I can share my takeaways with you.

You will not avoid screwing up. It's a pre-requisite to an interesting career.

I’m not saying to be careless, I’m just saying you will have to get used to the idea of failure if you want to grow.
