Yes! Kindness! We should adopt the same 'gracious professionalism' ethos created by the FIRST robotics competition. I should treat colleagues with respect and always putting the team before myself. It reminds me of an expression used in 12 step meetings: value principles over personalities. I've felt frustration with junior developers when they've made bad decisions due to inexperience. I am at my best when I recognize that their intentions were good. This allows me to have a positive impact on them and collaborate with them to foster effective best practices.
