Summary

What I learned from 472 PRs, 130K lines of code and 1 year working for a USA startup

My first PR vs my latest PR
No, you cannot do everything
Plan your day = Be effective
Communication: inform your progress when is needed, unblock your teammates, perform QA
Is ok to not be ok
Dump your brain

something is blocking you? explain the problem in a note
there is a lot of things to do? make a prioritized list

Do things that gives you fulfillment

Understand what is expected from your work

How to structure a productive day

Fulfillment: mind, body & spirit
Pareto law: 80% of effects comes from 20% of causes

Prioritize key practices
Learn key concepts
Focus on key tasks

Laborit law: people gravitate towards the least effort path at expense of important or difficult tasks

Prioritize more urgen + important tasks (don’t focus on difficulty)
Break complex tasks into smaller manageable tasks

Parkinson law: work expands to fill the available time

Set strict deadlines
Seek efficiency, not perfection

Efficient learner

create a distraction-free environment
be an active note-taker
prioritize your health
revise your knowledge actively: explain it easily

Code for 4 hours straight (with no breaks ?)
