What did I "learn"?

Agile != stand up meeting

• Doesn't matter how much you plan, your estimations are wrong. Embrace the change.

• Deliver often intermediate deliverables.

Agile != stand up meeting

Sprint done right:

• Burndown chart.
• Well defined goals and deliverables.
• Runnable deliverable (it might be a unit test).

Coding practices

Do it fast, do it often and more importantly, DO IT!

Unit tests and continuous integration

• Continuous and painless releases.
• There isn't "your code" anymore.
• You actually code faster (yes, believe me).

Make your code human readable

• Self explaining API.
• Long names for variables.
• Documentation... but that wasn't so good.

I saw the most amazing tool in robotics...

(and it is not ROS)

LOG everything...

...and visualize it.

Keep It Simple

Before starting a new development ask yourself:

• Do I really need it?

• Do I need it now?

• Is there a simpler solution?

• Do I ABSOLUTELY need to optimize it?

• Ask yourself these questions 5 times.

Last but not least

Don't forget to have fun

and be proud of what you achieve
