Often we just need to check what our company is doing to manage projects and apply it to manage ourselves.

An experimentation / MVP mindset helps to detach ourselves from the results, fail fast, and pivot.

Good article, John!

I love your short and valuable posts! spot on as always. Course correcting using others feedback is crucial. It's important to listen to what others are trying to tell you.

The more you rethink your actions and methods, and work on improving them, the faster and more better engineer you become!

Short feedback loops, eagerness to get validation, and ensuring you're solving the right problem will skyrocket your full-time employment career and differentiate you if you do freelance work.

I believe the reason for this is signaling that you care.

Care about the outcome, making the client satisfied, making the team's life easier, doing good work, and not just doing the bare minimum to get by.

Great advice, John!
