But sometimes I do. My latest experience in software development raised me up and knocked me down in less than 6 months. I won’t tell you the whole story, but I will sum it up in 7 thoughts.
Recently I had a discussion with a colleague of mine about professional career, hard skills and how to stay in a good shape despite the environment, lack of time and “boring” working activities.

Title inspired by one of the first blog posts I’ve read as a software engineer - Object Calisthenics.

We review code and write code based on polymorphism, encapsulation and inheritance (some of you also use absctractions). We ask or asked about SOLID, KISS and DRY during the interviews. But what's in a name?
