Ask HN: Would you change my cruising checklist
Since reading the great book The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande, I have been creating some software development checklists for personal use. Most I believe will differ widely based of your teams processes and working practises. Though one might not and it’s one which I’m having trouble coming up with ideas for. It’s a checklist which may be similar to a cruising checklist used in aviation. You’ve got to altitude and cruising speed, nothing is currently wrong. Here it’ll be used during development of a task when there isn’t anything majorly wrong. Maybe you’ve finished a feature, got distracted and want to check what’s going on.
How would you change it?
