--Originally published at TC3045 – Software Quality – Building Software
This is not only the conclusion to this week but also to the semester. During this three months I learnt the following:
- Motivation is the key to success, but too much motivation is risky: it might end up in a total lack of interest.
- Estimating is hard.
- Individual works are faster, but when the person working on this task is not available, things can turn bad. Therefore, people redundancy on tasks is required.
- Unit tests are as important as integration tests.
- Versioning software is extremely helpful.
- Demos may go wrong: always have a local (and even mock) version.
- Saying “no” is ok.
