Clinton R. Nixon’s Summary
My experience has been a constant education on software development best practices. Every time I feel like I've learned something interesting, I find a new handhold to climb further up.
My goals are to work as a software developer and designer in an environment that prioritizes quality. I fully believe in the General Principle of Software Quality: improving quality improves the development schedule and reduces development costs. My corollary is that improving quality improves developer morale and joy.
