FEAR MAKES YOU A WORSE PROGRAMMER

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Fear leads to overly cautious behavior and can hinder important code or system changes. Tools and team processes like version control, testing, and blameless postmortems can help mitigate fear. Programmers should feel comfortable making changes without the fear of breaking things or facing punishment. While some fears may be irrational, overcoming them through positive experiences can build confidence and improve software development.
