Tackling
- DRY - Don't Repeat Yourself

- Prototype to learn
- Program close to the problem domain
- Estimate to avoid surprises
- Iterate the schedule with the code
Tools
- Keep knowledge in plain text
- Use command shells
- Use a single editor well
- Always use source control management software
- Fix the problem not the blame
- Don't panic
- Take the signs for what they are
- Don't assume it - Prove it
- Learn a text manipulation language
- Debugging steps
- Are you seeing a symptom, or the root cause?
- Write down the problem as in an email to a co-worker
- If we see problems and the tests are passing, then are the tests complete?
- Where else does this problem exist, or need to be checked?
