It's Never Too Late to Become Junior Again
summary
A developer with six years' experience reworks their workflow over three years by adopting concrete practices: using the PDCA cycle to plan and track learning goals, learning and applying TDD and hexagonal architecture, and using pair programming and event storming to align team practices. They also join meetups for curated resources and help ship a production app with a 10‑developer team where code becomes reusable and the approach proves effective.
