Life, like Development, has Context

Senior Application Developer and Full Stack Engineer at Thoughtworks with almost a decade of experience working primarily as a Backend & DevOps Engineer. I've worked on Ruby & C# projects and am currently working on a Python one. I am an AWS Certified Solutions Architect and an Oracle Certified Cloud Infrastructure Architect at an Associate level. I also have reasonable experience working on GCP, primarily with Google Kubernetes Engine.
I'm also an aspiring public speaker who likes to give talks on soft skills and tech.
I also write blogs on various psychological aspects of work primarily to improve teamwork & interpersonal skills.
In any long running software development project, there'll always be a point where we question past choices. Some of those choices can appear downright stupid just a few years later, especially to those who were not there when those choices were made.
While it should be obvious that this is how life also works, people forget this and need to be reminded from time to time.
If you know someone who you think has made some bad choices in the past, remember to look beyond those choices and into what they were going through at that time. It'll help you become more empathetic and also support them when they need it the most.
P.S: As I always say, if you have made some bad choices in the past, help others not repeat your mistakes.
