Which deals on the simple errors and corrections you need to adopt in this 2020.

I will be sharing with you the advice quoted above just with the text below in unordered manner.

  1. Use a very cute and code completion text editor e.g Visual Studio code,latest version of Sublime Text ,Github Atom or any other text editor you know how to use best.

  2. Read other people’s code be it pdf or the programs extensions respectively.

  3. Edit the code and try them out by substituting them with your own values, variables or any other related features you can change.

  4. Never make any attempt of claiming the code

  5. Share your codes with other developers far better than you.

  6. Always ask questions when you’re freaking out ;don’t assume you know it because a preacher once said

    assumption is not reality.

  7. Check out your environment or social media groups and pages mainly concerned on programming, developing, technology and coding stuffs and seek for mentorship.

  8. Don’t /never be proud when you’re good in some aspects because

    pride goes before a fall.

  9. Create a project with what you have learnt so far.

  10. If you think you’re now really,then contribute to open source.

  11. Less i forget read your interested programming language documentations, also CODE && CODE && CODE.

Even if you’re a senior developer i hope you will also find piece this helpful

With this text I really hope you become a great, awesome, fabulous tech dude and word class developer in this 2020.

Much love

Interesting read, thanks for sharing. I like the point you made in number 5. Sharing your code can provide valuable feedback, especially during code reviews with other developers. It is great to see how different people would attack the same problem.

The only point I disagree with is number 8. You can be proud of the work you have done and how much you have accomplished, and you should be. It is a great accomplishment to continuing learning and developing in any field. The difference is when that pride turns to arrogance and you begin to believe your own work or actions are above others.
