And, based on that, some good practices for working within a software development team or managing such a team. I'd first suggest that you might just be in a short-sighted mode. When you work every day, that is something you can be proud of in the evenings; when you're not, you can't focus on that. But you have worked hard for the last 9 years, and you have a resume and portfolio along with mad skills to show for it. Also, just remind yourself that: You're good enough... You're smart enough... and dog gone it, people *like* you!!! :) -- Voidious This reminds me exactly of some shit we were discussing in my Software Engineering class yesterday… that a primary (he said “the primary”) reason for working is to increase one’s self worth.
