Teamwork makes the dream work." "" "As a software engineer, learning to operate in a team is a crucial skill often overlooked. Many examples show solo developers making it big, but that’s not the typical path a software engineer takes. More so, while there are many pieces of software small enough in scope to be operated by a single person, many more pieces of software require big teams to bring to fruition. " "" "So how to best work in a team? Be a team player, and ensure your goals and objectives line up with the team’s goals. Make use of the team’s diversity to specialize in the areas you’re best at or areas of most interest to learn more. Through teamwork, learning new skills and technologies can be dramatically accelerated, which can be mutually beneficial. A mobile engineer can coach a backend engineer on mobile specifics, while the backend engineer can coach the mobile engineer on distributed systems specifics. In the age of the Internet, information is just a few keywords and clicks away, but getting a simple explanation from a teammate who understands your learning style will undoubtedly speed things up. Finding and creating a strong team takes effort, but the rewards are undeniable #bendevtip
