      <p>Two of the worst phrases I've heard when working with new development teams is "We've always done it this way" or "We've never needed to do this before".</p>

      <p>Whether it's writing automated tests, using static analysis, having a CI pipeline or using a specific framework or tool, this mindset prevents experimentation, growth and improvement.</p>

      <p>Instead, try to think about what benefits alternative approaches could offer and how they could improve any situations you're currently experiencing.</p>

      <p>You don't need to do it forever. Decide on something you want to try on a trial basis and set an end date.</p>

      <p>Then, when the trial is finished, you can decide if it achieved what you wanted, and if you want to continue with it.</p>

      <p>Even if you don't continue with it, you still learned something by trying.</p>
