As a full-stack developer, I've often found myself in situations where a sprint goes wrong, and a lot of bugs are flagged by QA. It's a tough spot to be in because I genuinely put in my best effort when coding, but sometimes things just don't go as planned. It could be due to a new feature, an old legacy system, or simply a rough week—it happens from time to time (not so often, I remember like 4 moments in my 5 years of experience). What advice do you have for maintaining consistent deliveries with minimal bugs (or equivalent failures in your area)?
This is why more experienced developers get paid more — because the deliver more consistent, higher quality, less issues work.
You work more, on more projects etc. and you eventually grow. Doesn't matter at all which tricks, approaches do you use.
The best investment in you quicker growth - is to find bigger, more complex and important project to tackle, and better team.
