Developer productivity requires balancing two competing desires: 1. Improve process. 2. Finish the current task. Itโ€™s often tempting to improve something thatโ€™s important, but unrelated to my current task. So, these two desires must be balanced.

Skill plateaus are good in short bursts - when I switched from Java to Django, I needed to feel steady for a hot sec. But often, itโ€™s a ๐Ÿšฉ- either the work isnt exciting you or the company isnt supporting your growth. The best antidote is jumping into a new domain #devdiscuss

Going from junior to engineer is pretty easy. But getting past this point seems quite difficult. I need to show more leadership, but also have to do a lot of work to find good projects. It requires a level of networking and connection that's not easy today. #devdiscuss

#devdiscuss the best way Ive seen to grow through a skill plateau has literally been to throw myself into a new language or environment. Earlier this year I went from only ever doing frontend work to having to learn Kotlin to build a new service Such a great forcing function
