Tuan, one of our Senior Product Developers

What does being a Product Developer (PD) mean to you?

In the past, we used to be developing software in the traditional way, which meant that I simply did the task that has been assigned to me. We weren’t concerned much about the quality of our codes and had to wait for Quality Assurance (QA) to complete their testing.

Over time, we adopted new processes such as Scrum. This changed everything, especially mindset. We do not just simply take up tasks. We now contribute ideas and take ownership of the product.

As a Product Developer, we do everything for the product, and will definitely care about the quality of the item – every aspect of it from end to end.

After I attended the Test-Driven Development (TDD) Workshop from Odd-E, someone recommended a book called ‘Clean Code’ that changed my perspective on how to write codes!

As Martin Fowler once said: “Any fool can write code that machine can understand.GOOD programmers write code that humans can understand.”

Ever since then, I always try to pay more attention when writing codes. Here are a few points that I keep in mind:

DON’T write any production codes without having any unit testing
DON’T add anymore duplicate codes
DO improve the code base so it is better than before

But, are these helping me to write a clean code? Not exactly… but it certainly made me care more about the code that I write, at least more than before!
