What Makes You A Better Web Developer - Doing

Doing is taken from the phrase, “learn by doing”.

DOING

If you want to grow as a developer and expand your skillset, then take on a challenging project that is over your head.  Here is a client scenario:

Client: Can we get that really complex thing that you don’t know how to do?
You: Sure, we can do that.
Phone call ends.
You: Crap, how are we going to do that.

I have found that my personal skillset has grown leaps and bounds when faced with similar situations. The motivating thing is, 90% of the time, the challenge is easily conquered with a little research and thought.
