One weird trick
Become a Certified Software Craftsperson
Here is a question for you to think about:
How can I make a better job tomorrow?
Congratulations, I hereby certify you to be a full-fledged, badass Software Craftsperson. You are welcome! *
Do not let book authors, speakers, consultancies or anybody tell you which steps are required to be considered a true Software Crafter. It usually involves giving them money as the first step, so I would call them biased.
* Quite literally: we welcome everybody to join our community Slack, regardless of profession, experience, skin color, gender, or other attributes because we believe that only diversity will help us to find the best solutions to the big and small problems we are lucky to be facing every day.
