Dare I say it? There is always room for improvement in your day to day life, especially if part of your life revolves around software. When I look back to my Engineering career, I can see where software had a major impact on what I did and how my opinions formed. I learned to be more focused on the day to day and how that I was accomplishing all that my career involved.
There is today and there is tomorrow, but I always strove to be better tomorrow than what I was today. That is why I took the time to learn time / project / personal management so that I would be able to do a better job. In fact, one of my key tenants was to always come out better from a software project than what I was when I went into it. Was I always a programmer? No, most of the time I was doing peripheral things around programming, but I used software to my advantage.
The need to write this blog only came about as I realized that I should put thoughts on paper before the ever increasing befuddlement starts happening as I age. This blog will be a compendium of lessons learned throughout my career in the hopes that someone will read it and become better at what they do in the day to day of life.
