That's a useful solution - "looked for ways to automate things and apply Pareto's law". If you're starting early in your coding/development career, what other skills would you work on?

Good communication skills and dealing with people. Good writing skills.

Make it a habit to write clean code and practice something like test driven development.

I still have code that has been running for 14 years. If you don’t put effort into making your code easy to read and maintain then your in for a world of hurt.

Interesting, this is very helpful. I like your points. And I'll be sure to work on "test driven development" as I learn more about coding and software development, thank you!
