Keep doing it. Over and over again until you get better. Don’t stop, don’t worry about what was goes wrong. Just keep doing it. Improve, learn from your mistakes, find gaps and make them better. But don’t stop. The fastest way to not getter is to stop.

Coding with a team is like a relay race. Everyone runs (Sprints) as fast as they can, they go all out, pushing as hard as they can until they can’t go any further, and then they hand off to their teammate, who goes and does the same thing. Everyone’s top speed is different, but we are all driving towards the same goal. And no one can do it alone.

In every process, delivery, action plan, etc – there are critical gaps, holes that exist that can break everything – they are that critical to the entire process. At the same time, they are the greatest opportunities and bang for our buck to make things work and fix problems. Find the gaps, fix the holes.

The task itself doesn’t get easier. You get better. And it becomes easier. You learn what makes it difficult and come with ideas, suggestions, and new paths to figuratively make it better, make it easier, but the task itself never changed. You did. It only stays difficult, when we refuse to change.

Do you know people who jump into a problem get so many accolades, thanks, handshakes (elbows), congratulations, and everything else? It’s not because they knew how to solve the problem. It’s not because they actually solved the problem. It’s not because they were the best leader or coder or anything. It’s because they jumped in. They took that step that no one else was willing to take and did it. That leapt and lead.
