Really great advice Basma – I particularly like how you've offered up practical, tactical tips on how to slow down and be more intentional before moving into coding. Nice. I think these are skills that many (most?) engineers will benefit honing. (Mentioned you in my comments here, very complimentary article: https://bit.ly/3OH6gfp)
The developer's backlog can indeed become outdated.
It's a good exercise to ask whether tasks are still relevant.
Regularly cleaning the backlog goes a long way in helping you work on the right projects and build a great product.
Agreed! I think that regular code cleaning goes a long way to save engineers' time and effort.
