Going to a CodingDojo helps enormously because its is fun to go and socialise and meet other geeks, which means you actually do it, rather than always just intending to sit down of an evening and do a kata instead of watch TV. At the meeting, when you're doing a kata together you challenge one another and you have to learn to accept criticism and defend your ideas. You get feedback on not just the code you produce, but your coding technique. You get exposed to other people's neat tricks with the language and editor and see other ways to code. If you already work in a team in your job then that may not be so new to you, but here it is with a different bunch of people, in a very safe environment. The code produced at the end may be preserved on a wiki somewhere but you're not still going to be maintaining it in 5 years time. You get to try the same Kata again the next time if you think you can do better. Commenting: short but very interesting content you can discuss it on [graphic design forum] as well. |
