Testing The Limits: My Road From Developer to Consultant

DevOps, growth culture and T-shaped evolution are more than just buzzwords if you’re willing to work on your skills and confidence.

Throughout the years I learned to drill into details and boil them down to the essentials so I can see things as they are. I don’t romanticize programming as a craft too much.

It may not always be easy, but it’s always possible — and all the mythology behind it mostly serves as an excuse for giving up.

I started with the wrong assumption that the customer is always right and that I have to know everything at all times.

When I started out, I was always afraid of questions. They paralyzed me.

Playing it safe is not only bad for the team — it’s also bad for your growth as a developer.

Overconfident people are hard to work with, but luckily this can be unlearned. And when it finally happens, you often find out there’s a really cool and talented person hiding behind this cocky facade.

For me, the path to growth is like a video game level.

Once you complete your main quest, you can move straight to the next one, or stay a little longer and explore some optional stuff.
