Find a project in production to work on as soon as possible, personal projects are good for learning but if you don't work on something being used , you are technically not a developer. #skills #developer #building #production #flutter #learningeveryday

𝗠𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘀 🤥 Last week, I embarked on building a project called FreeTool—an open-source platform designed to manage daily activities and enable real-time communication with friends. Excited about solving this problem, I quickly installed the necessary dependencies and started coding. However, I overlooked one crucial step: planning. 𝗠𝘆 𝗘𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 I failed to sit down with my diary and sketch out the architecture of my code. I thought I knew what I was doing, but I didn't realize how essential it is to visualize and note down the architecture before writing my code. As I started development, it became clear my code lacked direction. I wasn't building what I envisioned; I was just coding a poorly planned idea. Ultimately, I stopped, deleted the entire project, and went back to square one—the planning stage. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 📌 Documented my idea 📌 Defined the core problem 📌 Outlined how to build the solution 📌 Planned each step 📌 Sketched the architecture 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 Never underestimate the importance of proper planning and documentation. These steps are not just formalities—they are essential tools that save time, reduce stress, and guide your project towards success.

🍪 I don't like PRs+Code Review combination. What is your experience? Here's what I've noticed in environments where code reviews are asynchronous: Tickets pile up, and the context evaporates. The process often needs more real developer-to-developer interaction. After all, how much meaningful dialogue can you expect if someone's engrossed in their IDE during a code review? One big hurdle is the willingness to invest time and focus on thorough ticket reviews, especially when everyone's already swamped with tasks. When should you communicate and review the code? 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘁'𝘀: A) Essential B) Timely 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘁: No one likes to be interrupted while coding. 👉 It's a fair point, but remember, you're not crafting a masterpiece solo as a Majestro; you're part of a team. The product's quality and workflow depend on collective efforts. The entire team suffers if one #developer's time is preserved at the expense of another's. ✅ It's a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲 anyway; rethink how to put the focus. Postponing reviews to fit into asynchronous slots can make everyone lose context by the time they get to it. 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: Before this topic gains momentum, let's acknowledge that some projects have mandatory Code Reviews, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗸𝗮𝘆.

🚀 Fast code is the secret weapon for building projects in record time! ⏱️ With efficient coding practices, developers can streamline the development process and deploy projects with ease. 💻 By writing clean and optimized code, teams can work more quickly and effectively, ensuring that deadlines are met and projects are delivered on time. 📅 Fast code also allows for easier collaboration among team members, as everyone can easily understand and work with the codebase. 👩💻👨💻 Don't let slow code hold you back - embrace the power of fast code and watch your projects come to life in no time! ⚡️ #FastCode #Efficiency #DevelopmentSuccess

Crappy Code ≠ Crappy Programmer Crappy Day ≠ Crappy Job Crappy Project ≠ Crappy Employee And on the flip side… Good Day ≠ Good Job Good Project ≠ Good Employee What does it all mean? THIS TOO WILL PASS But here’s the real takeaway: Clean Code == Experienced Developer This means one thing: THEY HAVE SURVIVED IT ALL. We all face tough projects, challenging days, and code that just doesn’t seem to work. But remember, these moments don’t define us—they’re just part of the journey. If you’re struggling, know that you’re not alone, and better days are ahead. And if you’re writing clean, efficient code, it’s a sign you’ve learned, grown, and come out stronger on the other side. Keep pushing forward. You’ve got this. #DeveloperLife #CodeQuality #GrowthMindset #TechJourney #Resilience

Two reasons why you should assign maintenance tasks to your junior developers. .... and two reasons why you should not. (For the long run, your choice will seem simple) Giving maintenance tasks to less-experienced developers is common for a few reasons: ➕Training Juniors can get to know your product and coding standards without the pressure of creating from scratch. ➕ Senior devs' time Delegating maintenance frees up senior devs to focus on complex tasks, such as designing architecture. Makes sense, right? However, it can turn inefficient in the long term because of: ➖Simplicity illusion Fixing old code is like trying to read a stranger's handwriting. Understanding previous developers' logic can be challenging without their direct help. ➖Limiting devs' growth Constantly working on maintenance prevents juniors from gaining expertise in building new features. And, of course, it ruins their motivation. To let your new teammates become pros, ensure they have a variety of tasks. Keep the 'development golden ratio' - the balance between maintenance and new features. #medevelopstudio #features #tasks #product #motivation #architecture

⏳Behind every development timeline is a story waiting to be told. Let's explore the details together. One thing I've learned as a developer is that explaining why a task takes a certain amount of time is just as important as the actual coding. It's not just about giving estimates: It's about creating understanding and building trust with our teammates and stakeholders. 🤝 When we take the time to explain our timelines, we're helping others see the full picture. Developing a feature or fixing a bug isn't always straightforward. We have to think about code quality, thorough testing, integrating with other systems, and sometimes dealing with unexpected issues. By sharing these details, we help non-technical folks appreciate the complexities we deal with every day. 🗣️💬 This kind of transparency isn't just good for relationships, it also helps with better planning and resource management. When everyone understands why something takes time, there's more support for doing things the right way, instead of cutting corners that could lead to bigger problems later. 🗒️ So, let's remember that part of our job is to communicate clearly and build strong, informed teams. It's not just about writing code: It's about working together to create great outcomes. 🏆 #SoftwareDevelopment #Teamwork #Communication #Transparency
