Ask HN: What software dev skill has helped you the most?

[JohnFen]

I don't think it's a software skill specifically, but for me it was learning more formal methods for deconstructing and analyzing problems.

[muconto107]

I agree with you. This is a important skill. Turning problems into code and making a solution.

Learn version control!

git add .

git commit . -m Stuff

git push

That's All you need to get started. Then when you do something stupid you can just revert to a working version.
