I’ve been at ThoughtWorks for 12 years. Who would have imagined? Instead of writing about my reflections from the past year, I thought I would do something different and post twelve key learnings and observations looking back over my career. I have chosen twelve, not because there are only twelve, but because it fits well with the theme of twelve years.

“My browser lost its cookies” has long been one of the most longstanding Support complaints in the history of browsers. Unfortunately, the reason that it has been such a longstanding issue is that it’s not the result of a single problem, and if the problem is intermittent (as it often is), troubleshooting the root cause may be non-trivial.  

It’s time to get serious about improving your programming skills. Let’s do it!
