The Effective Engineer

Just read "The Effective Engineer" by Edmond Lau. For those who have no time to read, I've simplified the book to 11 bullet points below.

• Increase your leverage by focusing on high impact activities and completing activities quicker.
• Learning is like compound interest. Steadily acquiring small bits of knowledge over time accumulates to a mountain of knowledge.
• Prioritize regularly- differentiate between urgent vs important.
• Invest in iteration speed- with continuous testing and small incremental changes.
• Invest in time saving tools.
• Use metrics to drive progress.
• Validate ideas via feedbacks early and often.
• Test your ideas with automated tests.
• Relentless automate repetitive tasks.
• Invest in team's growth.
• Build the simplest system possible.
