> simplifying problems Practice rewriting personal projects. Once you have a working app, try to make it even simpler, clearer, more efficient, etc. > managing time If you’re on a tight deadline do the easy stuff first and if you’re falling behind get help with the harder parts or ask the team to scale back the scope. But if you bite off more than you can chew you run the risk of having nothing to show for it. If you’re building a proof of concept, then start with the hard parts to show the team that it’s possible and worth additional time to finish it off. > overselling their skills Be honest about your role in a project. Don’t hide the fact that another dev was doing the primary research or making the technical decisions. Just take credit for the things you did from start to finish, without help (because those people that helped might not be there at your next job).
