Saw one of those "if you wanna be a better dev, read these blogs..." posts. I've got a bit of experience, and there are a couple things that will help you more than others: - work in public (communicate, demonstrate, seek feedback). Hiding your work is how you build and keep bad habits. A predictable and dependable dev is better than a highly-skilled dev, every time. - stay with one codebase for a while. Don't rewrite at the first chance. Don't jump to a new project at the first chance. Sticking with the same project will teach you things you can't learn as a newbie. You'll be senior in 2-4 years just doing these things consistently.

🔥 The Biggest Mistake Junior Developers Make—and How to Avoid It! --- Follow Tuhin Karmakar for more :) --- Starting out as a developer can feel like navigating a maze, and mistakes are part of the process. But there’s ONE BIG MISTAKE, I see junior devs making time and again: "Focusing too much on writing perfect code and not enough on understanding the bigger picture". When I was starting out, I spent hours obsessing over clean, flawless code. But here’s what I’ve learned: Code is only one part of the puzzle.. You need to understand how your work fits into the project, the product, and ultimately, the business. 💡 Here’s how to avoid this trap: - Ask questions: Understand the why behind what you’re building - Collaborate: Talk to senior engineers and product managers to see the bigger picture. - Learn to be Agile: Get comfortable with “good enough” and iterate from there. Remember, perfect code is useless if it doesn’t solve a real problem. Focus on impact, not just syntax! What’s one mistake you made early on? Let’s hear it! #SoftwareDevelopment #JuniorDevelopers #CareerGrowth #TechTips #CodingJourney #SoftwareEngineering #Collaboration

As a junior dev, how can you impress your manager and teammates? 🚫Work hard to solve every problem by yourself to show your diligence ✅Ask for guidance and insight from your manager and senior devs 🚫Jump in at every chance with suggestions on how to do things ✅Listen, ask questions, then offer ideas 🚫Use many patterns to show your mastery ✅Write simple, well-structured code, and use patterns as appropriate 🚫Think your degree means you’re worth more than a bootcamp graduate ✅Understand that many talented people take different routes into this field and you can learn from all of them 🚫Try to be superhuman ✅Be human. Be honest. Be humble.

My first post! Feedback is much appreciateeeed Is complexity (fancy clutter) in your code really helping? Complex code seems cool. It feels like you're flexing your developer muscles. But more often than not, it’s creating problems instead of solving them 😅 . Why simplicity is the cool in backend development: When your code is clear and straightforward, anyone can pick it up and run with it. Keeping it simple reduces the risk of sneaky bugs. When you build a foundation of simplicity, scaling becomes a breeze. Less tangled code means easier modifications as your project grows. Less complexity = faster onboarding for new team members, quicker fixes, and less head-scratching all around. // If you’re writing code and feel like a genius, step back and ask, "Is there a simpler way to do this?" You’ll thank yourself later. What do you think of overly complex code?

🚀 Weekend Clean Code Challenge Hey fellow developers! 🌟 Let’s transform our weekends into a productive and learning-filled experience. Here’s a challenge to help us grow together: 🗓️ Challenge Duration: This weekend (Saturday and Sunday) 🔧 #Task: Create a small project or improve an existing one by focusing on clean code and solid architecture. Use best practices and aim for scalable, maintainable, and high-performance code. 📋 #Steps: -Choose a project idea or an existing codebase. -Refactor or build it using clean code principles. -Implement a modular and robust architecture. -Document your process and share your learnings. 🎉 #Share Your Success: -Post your project and experience on LinkedIn. -Use the hashtag #WeekendCleanCodeChallenge. -Tag others to encourage them to join. By participating, you'll not only improve your skills but also inspire others to adopt best practices in their coding journey. Let’s make this weekend a milestone in our growth path! #CleanCode #SoftwareArchitecture #CodingChallenge #GrowTogether

Behind Every Junior Developer’s Success is a Senior Developer Who Has Their Back! 🚀 Starting out as a junior developer can feel like walking into a battlefield: 🔧 Deadlines missed. 📣 Managers and clients demanding more. 🛠 New tools and frameworks to learn. But behind every challenge, there's a Senior Dev, standing strong like a warrior, taking the hits and saying: "Nice PR! You're doing great so far!" 💪 What makes Senior Devs true champions? ⚔️ They shield juniors from the noise — missed deadlines, client complaints, and technical blockers. 🌱 They encourage growth — always providing constructive feedback on pull requests, no matter how small. 📚 They’re mentors — guiding with patience, sharing their knowledge, and letting junior devs grow without fear of failure. To all the junior devs: Keep coding, keep learning, and keep growing! You’ve got a team behind you. And to all the senior devs: Thank you for your support, mentorship, and for being the invisible armor protecting the team. Together, we build a culture of support, learning, and success. Let’s celebrate the incredible teamwork that drives innovation forward! 🌟 #DeveloperJourney #MentorshipMatters #JuniorDev #SeniorDev #TeamworkInTech #TechGrowth

Hey everyone, you’ve got to see this meme that totally nails the transition from junior to senior dev! It's a perfect snapshot of how our reactions evolve over time. For those who aren't deep into coding, here’s the deal: When you’re new, you get super excited when your code works right away. It feels like a huge win. But as you gain more experience, you start questioning everything. If something works perfectly on the first try, it feels too good to be true. You're immediately on the lookout for hidden bugs or issues. This perfectly captures that shift in mindset. Beginners celebrate, while seasoned pros brace themselves for the unexpected. It’s a hilarious and accurate depiction of the dev life. Keep coding and stay awesome, everyone! 😂💻🔥

And add proper comment as well.

Happy Monday, Developers! 🎉 As we kick off a new week, let’s remind ourselves that every challenge we face is an opportunity to grow.
