"7 things I learned in 7 years of my career"
summary
Seven concrete habits: set deadlines and work consistently toward goals; prioritize core testing skills over chasing automation; learn OOP, data structures and algorithms for durable automation; stick to one language (then map syntax to others); pick small, visible automation targets (API checks with Postman, scripts in Python or Java) and implement them; debug before reporting to find root causes; dedicate time for reading and sharing; lead by example and express your views without fearing others.
