Doing Your Job May Be Hazardous To Your Career

Your job is not what you do, but the goal you pursue. Your real goal, however, is not your individual KPI, but the team’s goal. Whether you play defense or offense, your real goal is to help your team to win the game. Winning is each and every player’s primary job.

Dica - Nomenclatura de arquivos

Vá do geral ao específico, da esquerda para a direita

Startup Brasil - Aceleratech - lista de startups - ACE02 - 20130910 b.xls

Use datas no formato aaaammdd (ano, mês dia)

Segue a regra acima e ajuda a classificar arquivos por data de versão. Basta classificálos em ordem alfabética.

Mantenha versões históricas dos seus arquivos

Ao começar a fazer uma mudança significativa num arquivo, ou ao começar um dia novo, salve uma nova cópia do arquivo. Guarde as versões obsoletas em uma pasta separada (antigos, histórico, obsoleto). 

Datas do novo dia, em geral, são suficientes para distinguir as versões. Use letras no final da data para distinquir versões do mesmo dia.

• arquivo 20130909.doc
• arquivo 20130910.doc
• arquivo 20130910a.doc
• arquivo 20130910b.doc

Espaço em disco rígido não é mais recurso escarço, pode ser abusado.

Crie nomes de arquivos detalhados para clareza

Os limites de tamanho de nome de arquivos ainda existem, mas são bem mais flexíveis. Prefira a clareza e informações explícitas. Mas bom senso deve vigorar.

Como nomear arquivos recebidos de outra pessoa?

1. adicionar a data de recebimento no formato aaaammdd
1. arquivo recebido 20130910.txt
2. se modificar, adicione um identificador e a data de modificação
1. arquivo recebido 20130910.txt (arquivo original)
2. arquivo recebido FB 20130910.txt (arquivo modificado por FB)
3. arquivo recebido FB 20130911c.txt
