What is cognitive load and why do we want to reduce it? When you are reading a block of code, cognitive load is the mental effort needed to understand it. The greater the complexity, the higher the cognitive load—but there are tips to make the process more efficient.  #programming #coding #cognitiveload

Computers are good at context switching, humans are not. Focus on one thing at a time💡 And Never let your Computers know you are in a hurry, They smell fear and slow you down when you are in a hurry(No pun Intended) 😄 #coding #programming #softwareengineering #codejourney

The most effective way that I learn new unfamiliar systems? Whiteboards. One of the most basic tools we have, but one of the most effective for me. Having someone do a high-level overview of the system showing key components and how they interact is ideal for me.

Most of the time the complexity tricky us to think it's the better solution, but it's a sight of development maturity to see between the options and chose what really will give you the best balance between flexibility, security, learning phase, short time and long time, etc. #softwareEngineering #coding #programming #softwareArchitecture

THIS IS THE ENTIRE STRATEGY I WOULD USE IF I WAS LEARNING TO CODE TODAY! Roadmap suggestions and all. This is a LONG video but a detailed one. Drop a like and BOOKMARK IT because you are probably going to want to reference this one later. Tag someone who can benefit from this. #coding #programming #softwareengineering

Whiteboards are a great way to learn new systems. It's a really simple tool, but one of the most effective for me when arriving to a new project. Having someone able to do a high-level explanation of a system showing key components and how they interact is a fantastic way to get how any system works.

The Four Excuses Good code is self-documenting. I don't have time to write comments. Comments get out of date and become misleading. All the comments I have seen are worthless. Follow Eleke Great for more. #coding #programming #softwareengineering.
