Good Web developer Part-I #22
Always be willing to learn
Learning
is a core part of being a web developer – of working anywhere in technology,
really!
It
sucks feeling like you’re on the steep side of the learning curve, but keep
going! I promise it will get better.
You
will get better at not only coding, but also *learning* how to learn. And
you’ll be a better web developer for it.
Meet Deadlines
Most
project you will work on will have a deadline. It’s super important to finish
the work when you have agreed to finish.
This
is true whether you’re a solo freelancer or working in a large company.
However,
if a deadline you’ve been given is crazy unrealistic, or you fall behind
midway, you must say something.
Don’t
be silent and have it be a surprised to every else if you have to miss a
deadline.
Communicate effectively
Like
in our last point, communicate ASAP if meeting a deadline is in an upcoming
project.
Also
being able to explain technical topic to non-technical co-workers or client is
a really important skill to have.
There’s
some empathy involved in this – try to understand where the other person is
coming from when you talk to them.
We’re artisans not artists.
You may be asked to build a site in *gasp*
WordPress, because that’s to help the client achieve their business objectives.
We’re
artisans, not artists.
Be open to constructive
criticism
None
of us if perfect. And the fact is, we have blind spots to our own and failings.
Other
people are often in a better position to identify how we need to change in
order to grow professionally and personally.
If
you receive good constructive criticisms, take a breath and receive it with
grace, for your own self-important.
Help other and mentor juniors
It
can be distracting to take time out of your own busy day to explain or help
someone else.
But remember – we are all where we are because
of the help and support of others.
Acknowledge
that gift, and pass it on to others. Your experience can help someone else who
was where you used to be in the past.
