The Common Sense. What you do have to be present and most common pattern for everyone to understand.

A lot of noise. Opinions are offered well but sometimes overwhelming without a backup. Backup means user testing / validation of the work. We need the source to a solid outcome.

I follow all trends to learn. I tent to try new launched tools all the time. if something suits to my workflow then I integrate it but tools changing all the time..
