Learning from failures is essential to software engineering. Hindsight is 20/20, but if you don’t dig deep and uncover learnings through your hindsight, your perfect vision of the failure won’t help you moving forward." "" "I worked at Creatubbles in 2017 when living in Scotland, and I spent a few months creating a fully automated delivery pipeline for their iOS app: added tests, ran them in a continuous integration environment, and integrated many different Fastlane utilities to automate the delivery process to the App Store. Doesn’t sound like a failure right? In hindsight, I’ve classified it as one for myself, because if I had instead spent my energy on improving the actual product, perhaps more people would be using Creatubbles today. " "" "The lesson for me? Don’t over invest in infrastructure before you actually need it. Without having lived it though, the lesson would not be as poignant for me, so I cherish the opportunity I was afforded to fail. " "" "Look for your own failures and make sure you learn from them, the less you repeat your mistakes the greater of heights you'll reach! #bendevtip
