Because you weren’t ready.

"Ready are you? What know you of ready?" - Yoda

You’ll rarely never write code from scratch

Domain knowledge is more important than your coding skills

Writing good documentation is helpful and important… to a point

Code is secondary. Business Mission value comes first!

You’ll need to work around incompetence and all manner of human-ness

You’ll work with uncertainty most of the time

Safe to assume all code has bugs

Aesthetics can’t be taught Let the artists and designers do their thing

Estimations will be asked for, even when it’s impossible to give them… learn how

Well-planned, well-run meetings are essential

Coding is not a dream job: nurture your relationships and other interests
