Seven things that kill any software developer's career: 1. Not listening to feedback 2. Always going for the latest tech 3. Not testing code 4. Constantly knowing it best 5. Not caring for code readability 6. Lack of focus 7. Writing clever code

I've developed software for over 22 years now, which is way over half of my lifetime, both professionally and as a hobby. Here are some of the most valuable lessons I learned along the way:

Whenever you have that feeling that you are not progressing at all although you put in the work every day: - Take a step back - Take a deep breath - Look behind you and see the massive mountain you have already climbed You're missing perspective, not progression.

What I would do if I had to learn to code all over again: - Pick a language like JavaScript or Python - Join a community - Find a mentor - Learn the hell out of all the fundamentals - Jump into frameworks and begin to specialize - Branch out later That's it.

One crucial ability many software developers miss: Patience. - Try not to rush things - Think solutions through a second time - Don't worry about fast result - worry about good ones - Better talk to a few more peers and take your time Impatience has never lead to good results

If you really want to succeed in software development: It's all about practice. 1. Learn some theory 2. Practice 3. Practice 4. Practice 5. Revisit the theory 6. Practice more Software development is a lot about ”muscle memory.”

The best way to use JavaScript in the frontend: Use as little as possible. Optimize like this: - Tree-shake unused code - Minify your code - Generate static pages where possible - Stay away from libraries too large - Always concentrate on user experience (page load speed)

JavaScript Tip: Since JavaScript does not have an inbuilt capitalize function, you can build a simple function to capitalize strings

24h update after launching sql-translator.vercel.app yesterday: ◆ 5000 translations were generated ◆ 150 GitHub stars Just added a feature to translate from SQL to human language. No more confusing and complex queries! My best-performing side project so far!

To come ahead on your next AI/ML interview: • Pick a problem • Build a model • Wrap it in a simple API • Host it • Build a small app that uses it • Set up monitoring • Write about all of this Do this, and you'll be ahead of 99.9% of every other candidate.
