“Learning from your mistakes does not happen automatically — it requires thinking and reflection.”
1- Failing to network early.
Networking is a major key to success in the business world…

- While you’re in the interview hot seat watching for clues from your interviewer, he or she is busy watching you — looking for their own clues. Interviewers look for things they want to hear in your answers, or ways you handle yourself during the interview, or simply some sign that shows them what you might be like if you worked for them.
- In my 10+ years of experience, I interviewed around 300+…
Building software will always be hard. There are no silver bullets in software development.
As a software engineer, you must know the essence of modern software systems:
- Complexity
- Conformity
- Changeability
- Invisibility
- Time-sharing
- Validation & Verification
- Workstations
- Complex programming projects cannot be perfectly partitioned into discrete tasks that can be worked on without communication between the workers and without establishing a set of complex interrelationships between tasks and the workers performing them.

It’s okay to screw up — that’s how you learn and grow. But, be sure to learn from past mistakes.
Every software engineer has their own quirks.
I assumed that documentation is not needed.
Biggest mistake ever.
Create a Wiki/Confluence page for your project and write down everything.
For e.g.
If your project requires access to a database, write down the how-to setup on the Wiki page.
You’ll be very happy when a new teammate joins and you point them to the Wiki page with everything written down.
