  4. 

  5. <p>One Friday afternoon, early in my career, I was wrapping up some new features for the back-end of a client’s Rails app. Simple stuff. Confident in my work, I deployed the changes, closed my laptop, and drove out of town for a weekend of camping with friends. I had just arrived when my phone rang. It was my project lead, Kevin.</p>

  6. <blockquote>

  7. <p>“The client’s site is down. What happened?”</p>

  8. </blockquote>

  9. <p>Oh shit. Fuck. I had no idea. I was three hours away with no laptop.</p>

  10. <p>“Don’t worry about it,” he said. “I’ll take care of it. Have a good weekend.”</p>

  11. <p>Like that was going to happen. I’d let the team down. I’d ruined someone else’s weekend. I beat myself up for days. Come Monday; I walked into the office certain I was about to be fired. The project lead walked over.</p>

  12. <blockquote>

  13. <p>“Hey, Brian. How was your trip?”</p>

  14. </blockquote>

  15. <p>He was smiling. There wasn’t even a hint of frustration or annoyance. “It was okay,” I said, waiting for the bad news. “Sorry about Friday. I completely blew it.”</p>

  16. <p>“It’s okay,” he replied. “We’ve all done it.” He paused for a moment. “But what did you learn?”</p>

  17. <p>I talked about the need for proper QA. About thoroughly testing my changes. About taking the time to make sure the job gets done right. After a few minutes, he held up his hand.</p>

  18. <blockquote>

  19. <p>“Great. It sounds like you get it. I know that you can do better.” </p>

  20. </blockquote>

  21. <p>And that was the end of it. Kevin never brought it up again. </p>

  22. <p>Kevin gave me the space to screw up, as long as I learned from it. He jumped in, with his years of experience, and helped me out when I needed it most. And still believed I was a competent developer, despite my mistake. He saw my potential.</p>

  23. <p>Now that I’m the one leading projects and mentoring junior developers, I often think back to that day. And I remind myself to be kind and see the potential in people. Give them a break.</p>

  24. <p>Just like Kevin did for me.</p>
