I've been thinking about some of the software development related habits that I've practiced and acquired over the years. I thought putting some of these down in posts and sharing would both help me solidify my own thinking on the subjects, but also provide a good place to link other developers or anyone I would like to send a topic when the context justifies it.

For this first post, I'd like to highlight some older posts that fit well into this category:

• You are responsible for making that feature work. Write a test. Just do it…
• Segregate your code commits into tiny topical changes
• Leave yourself a breadcrumb for tomorrow.
• Developer humor
  • Not a practice - but good to take a step back and laugh a bit...
• rake, psake, grunt, gulp, jake, make, cake, brunch, ant, bash, maven, or fabric. as long as you putOnAHelmet
• One of the Simplest Things You can do to Improve Email Communication

In future posts I'm going to write down some of the habits that I think have helped me become a better developer over the years. While I get glimpses of (being the old guy) in a room of developers, I know that my learning is never done and my future has more personal growth than I can even imagine. Regardless, I hope you find these posts useful.

Happy Deving!
