Gotcha! In web code dev/ general code/ life as a developer

At work i tell junior devs to push code every day. not to care about multiple commits, please commit and push once a day to feature branch. i do the same. i have been working on a side project and forgot to push the code for the last 3 days, and oops hard drive failure when restarting my personal laptop today :((

​

that is my gotcha.

​

another is hitting convulated dependancy issues in node and java (gradle/ maven) – no quick fix there, just a lot of reading and fixing, but i do know to pad 2-3 days to set up/ code dependancy and deployment tasks every time there is a new project or a change that entails new dependancies and is something i have written in my internal team document on gotcha's too.
