Trade-offs are a big part of software engineering, not just in building systems, but also in how we learn and grow in this field.
I still have many technical gaps to fill, a lot to keep up with, AI tools to explore, and both practical and theoretical knowledge to improve. I’ve realized that it’s impossible to do everything at once, so the key is to make the right trade-offs and focus on what matters most at a given time, NOW.
And that’s why we should focus on one thing, finish it, and then move on to the next.. and so on.
