But, what differs excellent software engineers, and here are recommendations on how to become one: 𝟭. 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵 Take one programming language and go in-depth with it. Learn everything you can and be a master of it. Some good languages you can select today are JavasScript, Python, Java, C#, and Rust, ... 𝟮. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝘀 When you master a programming language, its syntax, semantics, and constructs, the next thing is to learn different software engineering concepts, such as: - Software architecture - Software design - Design patterns - Clean code - SOLID, DRY, KISS, and YAGNI principles 𝟯. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗗𝗟𝗖 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 Understand the complete software development process, from requirements to deployment. Learn about Agile methodologies, DevOps, and Quality assurance. Try to work on different projects; the more projects you work on, the more you will learn new stuff and grow. 𝟰. 𝗕𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿 Don't settle just for specs; jump to implementation when working on your project. Think about other ideas and approach your product manager with them. Try to understand the complete system and how the business works. Be an end-to-end product feature owner. 𝟱. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁-𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 Be respectful of others, communicate clearly, and be humble. Being kind has no financial cost, but its effects are immeasurable. Try pair/mob programming. Talk with people outside engineering, grab a coffee or lunch, or do a hallway chat. 𝟲. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 We need to learn, but the trick is when and how. Don't just learn things; this is inefficient. We need to learn intentionally, just before we need it, and this will make the most significant impact. 𝟳. 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 The fastest way to progress in your career is to find a mentor. He can help you find your gaps and show you some new opportunities.

🤔 Ever wondered why it's so challenging to teach quality to developers? In a thought-provoking blog post by Jeremie 🎭 Fleurant titled "Why it’s difficult to teach Quality to Developers", the important role of Quality Assurance in software development is thoroughly explored. Quality isn't just one part of creating software—it's essential for making a product successful. One of the core challenges highlighted in the article is redefining what it means for a development task to be 'complete'. Is coding up to the point where the program merely functions on a developer's machine enough? Absolutely not. A 'done' job should encompass rigorous testing scenarios, code refactoring for enhanced efficiency and maintainability, and adequate automation tests to guarantee consistent performance. The article emphasizes the need for developers to change their approach to new tasks. It’s not just about moving a ticket from 'backlog' to 'in progress'. Developers should question the purpose of the task, plan necessary tests, and consider its impact on different platforms. Often, rushing these tasks leads to missed details and features that don’t work as intended. Furthermore, the article highlights how developers often ignore or dismiss bugs that aren't directly related to their current tasks. Yet, paying close attention to and proactively fixing even small issues can greatly improve the overall quality of the final product. The concept of Quality Assistance offers a compelling solution. It encourages developers to actively focus on quality, integrating QA throughout the development process and enabling them to take responsibility for maintaining high standards. Considering this, how can we build a culture where quality is central to everything we create? It starts with reevaluating how we handle development tasks, deeply engaging with our work, and always aiming to get better.

Empowering Developers: A Journey into Software Testing 🏔 Despite studying Software Engineering, testing wasn't emphasized during my college days. I didn’t write any tests during college, resulting in a 0% test coverage upon graduation. Testing wasn’t part of my curriculum, which seemed normal then but feels surprising now. Testing is crucial in software engineering, a concept I learned about much later. Why Test? Tests ensure your code works "correctly." They're like insurance—investing time in writing and maintaining tests can prevent costly bugs in production. Testing also supports "shift left," identifying and resolving issues early in development. Types of Testing Unit tests examine individual code units, integration tests assess interactions between code pieces, and end-to-end tests cover entire code paths. More tests generally mean more confidence in your system's behavior, but they require time and maintenance. Tests Increase Confidence Writing tests boosts developers' confidence to refactor code. Passing tests guarantee existing system behaviors, allowing safe code modifications. Tests signal problematic changes, motivating developers to keep test suites fast. Writing Tests I realized the importance of testing when a bug surfaced in my last company’s software. Writing a test to reproduce the bug helped identify and fix the issue. Tests serve as documentation, detailing expected code behavior in various scenarios. #SoftwareEngineering #TestingBasics #QualityAssurance #CodeQuality #TestDrivenDevelopment #BugFixing #SoftwareDevelopment #TechEducation #CodingTips #DeveloperSkills #ContinuousIntegration #AutomatedTesting #SoftwareQuality #Debugging #TestAutomation #ProgrammingTips #TechCommunity #LearningJourney #DevelopmentTools #DeveloperResources

🚀 Why Testing Matters in Software Engineering 🚀 Transforming my perspective on coding, I realized the critical value of thorough testing. It's not just an extra step—it's an investment in quality and user satisfaction. 🌟 Discover how embracing testing can enhance your software and positively impact users' lives.

Being a Programmer vs. Being a Software Developer! Being just a programmer is totally different from being a software developer! Programming is a crucial part, but it's just a small piece of the software development lifecycle. As your programming experience grows, you'll realize there's much more to it than writing functional code. From gathering business requirements to correctly designing the software architecture within the existing framework, from designing or extending the existing database to ensuring the highest performance, scalability, and maintainability, writing code using clean code principles that align with your company's coding style—which varies from company to company—is just the beginning. Next, Code testing at least unit testing but with proper code coverage is a must, and I highly recommend using TDD 💪 . Testing is bigger than unit testing but it's the responsibility of QAs (testers) to do the next steps of Testing to guarantee smooth software integration. A software developer must also be familiar with the deployment technology stack and the steps needed to deploy code within the CI/CD process across different servers seamlessly. In my opinion, communication skills are among the most crucial skills for a software developer. Throughout the process—from design to deployment—interaction with many people inside and outside your team is inevitable. Learning to handle these interactions professionally and enthusiastically is key to moving tasks forward efficiently. Knowing when to ask for help and when to offer it to keep the team's tasks progressing is equally important. A Junior software developer focuses only on their task and might not see beyond their current assignment. In contrast, a senior software developer understands the goals of the current release or sprint, knowing how their task and others fit into the bigger business objectives. They might even have a broad understanding of the team's goals for the next three months at least! Over time, it becomes clear that as a software developer, you frequently interact with the business side, QAs(testers), scrum master, managers, DevOps teams, developers, and stakeholders. Non-functional tasks like performance improvements and automating repetitive tasks to ease the team’s workload are also vital. Code reviews of colleagues' work are a daily routine, providing opportunities to assist others and learn from their way of thinking to write their code. Despite all this, some say AI can replace software developers! AI is a tool that can assist developers, but as we've shown, software development is much, Software is Life is an Environment that needs humans to interact professionally and understand the business needs as humans to generate a great piece of software.

🌟 Overwhelmed, but Learning: My Journey Into Unit Testing 🌟 Today, I finally tackled something I’ve been avoiding for a while: writing unit tests. Honestly? It felt like stepping into an entirely new world of software development, and wow… I’m overwhelmed, but in the best way possible. When I started writing tests for my AuthenticationRepository and PresentRecipeRepository, I had no idea what to expect. The process felt intimidating at first. What should I test? How do I simulate server responses? What even counts as a good test? 🤯 But as I kept going, I realized this was a game-changer: ✅ Debugging became so much faster. I used to rely on the UI to test my backend logic, which was slow and tedious. Now? Unit tests let me catch bugs without ever opening a browser or emulator. ✅ Confidence in my code skyrocketed. Testing how my server responds to scenarios like incorrect credentials, correct credentials, and even edge cases for fetching recipes with different parameters gave me a new level of assurance. ✅ Decoupling UI and backend work is freeing. I’m no longer waiting for the UI to "be ready" to validate my backend services. Knowing that my core functionality is rock solid makes the integration process much smoother. ✅ The process itself taught me so much. I won’t lie—it’s been overwhelming to juggle learning the frameworks, writing meaningful tests, and debugging failing ones. There were moments when I felt stuck and wondered if I was even doing it right. But every small success (like a green checkmark on a passing test) kept me going. This process made me realize something profound: Unit testing isn’t just about finding bugs. It’s about building trust in my code, learning to anticipate edge cases, and becoming a more confident developer. If you’re someone who’s avoided unit tests because they seem overwhelming, I get it. I was in the same boat. But once you dive in, you’ll see how much it transforms the way you code. Overwhelmed? Yes. But I’m also inspired. And honestly, that’s the best feeling as a developer. 💻✨ 💡 If you’ve been through a similar journey, I’d love to hear your experiences. How did you get started with unit testing?
