Top ten things ten years of professional software development has taught me

I was reading this top ten list yesterday, and I thought I can problably come up with my own list of things no-one told me before I started developing software for money. This is my list.

  • Object orientation is much harder than you think
  • The difficult part of software development is communication
  • Learn to say no
  • If everything is equally important, then nothing is important
  • Don't over-think a problem
  • Dive really deep into something, but don't get hung up
  • Learn about the other parts of the software development machine
  • Your colleagues are your best teachers
  • It all comes down to working software
  • Some people are assholes
