All colleagues I deeply
respect seem to share a common trait: they take great pride in their work. They
are never content to settle for mediocrity. Adhering to standards, and even
attempting to raise them comes from within,
rather than being triggered or enforced by management, rules, regulations,
standards (forces outside of them).
Once one begins to accept
sloppy coding, learn to live with bugs, you effectively (and voluntarily) lower the bar. If some issue isn’t worth
fixing, then why would you not accept some other? And another? Until you’re
filled with disgust over your work. We deserve better.
Because this sense of
pride, and the inherent need to derive job satisfaction from creating or doing
something “nice”, continuous learning is a given. The world changes, our craft
changes, and we change along. It’s an urge to move forward that is
self-motivated. An opportunity to evolve.
What do you plan to do
today, to grow and learn?
