That was a nice read, and I'll try to incorporate it in the future.

Lately I've been victim of letting too much pressure from clients build and I ended up spending 5 days on a major feature (built on legacy messy code) and in the process of making it better and adding a new features I ended up breaking few things here and there, which didn't play nicely with my refactor. Which costed me another few days of work.

I guess I should've had an approach closer to what he describes, written few tests more before hand and taken more time to nail it without the delay.

I learned from that experience, but the mindset he talks about would've been more beneficial.

The cool thing is you’ve got the rest of your career to benefit from what you just learned :)
