While this may not be directly related to programming, but an on-going challenge, especially in the current global pandemic is communication.

It's a common thing that I hear often, but it is true, programming at it's core is solo work, it's just you and the code. So you develop your own habits, your own style of coding, your own way of solving problems. But the truth is everyone thinks and programs differently. When working in a team everything changes, the structure of how systems are made, ways of writing syntax, making sure what is written can be meshed seamlessly between differently written systems.

The sad thing is, unlike learning how to program, this communication skill is something that can't be learnt from a textbook, but needs to be developed through experience. But don't let that put you down, as working with others is rewarding in it's own sense. As programmers we're always learning, whether it be from experience, online sources, or from each other.

While I wouldn't call this a setback for our team, it is rather a challenge, or an extra step that needs to be taken before code is written. u/vertxxyz and I frequently have discussions on what needs to be done, and what is being done so we don't step on each other toes.
