What's the biggest mistake you've made in your career that you still regret?

Not learning how to code earlier

Building network! I always saw myself as an island but in truth no one is

Oof, I think the biggest mistake I made was not realizing the potential of a certain technology early on that later exploded in popularity. Missed out on being an early adopter and innovator in that space. Still kicking myself over it! But ya live and learn I guess... gotta keep looking forward and not dwell too much on past missteps, even though the regret still stings sometimes lol

I regret not keeping track of my milestones and goals. If I had, I might have spotted some issues earlier and adjusted course sooner.

I don't believe in statements like your biggest mistake or regret, there is nothing like biggest mistake or regret there is only one thing learning and opportunity to look at things differently.

lol... I think you are right... and now It feels a bit late trying to compete with them.. the feeling is mutual Udaya.. hmmm

This is true but I believe it’s never too late for anything :)

None. I never regret for anything.

Not setting clear goals from the start

Early in my career, I didn’t always listen to feedback from colleagues and mentors. I was too focused on proving myself instead of learning and growing from their insights.

Not focusing enough on taking time off. And yes I love poetry Udaya!

For me, it was not taking enough time to really understand my audience early on. I spent too much time focused on the product instead of the people who would use it.
