Have you heard about 1% rule? If you are 1% better in a given field than the day before, after 1 year you would be 37 times better.
How could you improve daily as a programmer (or an aspiring programmer)?

Raf Rasenberg@rafrasenbergLife is more than your work & code!
It's Saturday so a good day to:
- Spend time with family / wife
- Go for a workout
- Work on your side projects
- Read books
- Go out in the nature
- Enjoy some Netflix
Enjoy your weekend all ♥️05:31 AM - 25 Jul 2020

Sophisticateddev@kingsleyiheonyeThis design resources for developers was tweeted by @traversymedia awhile back.
I just decided to share it, because it has been so useful to me.
RT for someone else might find it useful.

e͒.salim@salimelliyeEvery language, library & framework exists for a reason. None of them are useless.
Stop making fun of some languages, frameworks and libraries.
#100DaysOfCode18:35 PM - 20 Jul 2020
e͒.salim@salimelliyeYou fear hard tasks while you are sitting and thinking about them.
All this fear disappear when you start doing them.
Just start :)
#100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie10:06 AM - 20 Jul 2020
Just because you love the language you know and work in, that doesn't mean the jobs in other languages will cease to exist.
There are Java jobs!
There are Python jobs!
THERE ARE PHP JOBS!
Just because you like Javascript, which is a great language, doesn't mean others are bad.00:54 AM - 19 Jul 2020
You get attracted by shiny new projects but understand
1 complete project is better than 20 incomplete projects!
1 complete project is better than watching 20 tutorials!
You need to finish the project

Imagine if Facebook said Myspace already did it.
Imagine if Netflix said TV already did it.
Imagine if WhatsApp said mobile carriers already did it.
Your idea doesn't need to be new, it just needs to be better.
Find what services are missing and improve it.

It’s crazy to me that ZipJob offers a free resume review from an actual person. Everyone job hunting should know about this.
zipjob.com/free-review04:12 AM - 19 Jul 2020
e͒.salim@salimelliyeDon't get attached to any language, framework or library.
Always try to learn new things.
#100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie08:06 AM - 18 Jul 2020
e͒.salim@salimelliyeYou don't need to know everything before you build something.
Start a project with what you know, and finish it with what you wanted to learn.
🔵Learn while you're building stuff.
#100DaysOfCode10:26 AM - 18 Jul 2020
I wan to tutor beginners but I am scared to ask, just got the courage. I need someone to join, DM if interested. Thank yoh21:02 PM - 17 Jul 2020
Catalin Pit@catalinmpitStop looking for 2 things: shortcuts and perfection.
You, your code, your work will never be perfect. Nobody and nothing is perfect.
Secondly, stop looking for shortcuts. They don't exist. Good stuff only comes through hard, smart work and consistency.13:40 PM - 17 Jul 2020

Being a good software developer means having homework all the time and the homework list is never finished 😭14:06 PM - 15 Jul 2020
Catalin Pit@catalinmpitIf you want a balanced life, don't guide yourself by this harmful "hustle" where people should:
Work 34 hours per day day
Never take a break
Wake up at 2.30am and sleep 3 hours per night
Sacrifice everything
There is more to life than work. Enjoy it to the fullest!06:08 AM - 16 Jul 2020

e͒.salim@salimelliyeMany tutorials are showing you how to use some technology.
But not much of them are showing you how to use many technologies together, in one project.
That's why you should start building things.
Building is how you get better...

I've noticed a handful of people looking for mentors for helping them learn and grow in the tech community. I'm here to tell you to stop seeking mentors and start seeking friends. This post is about my fave ways to make friends!

Performance Tip 💡
Make SOME of your images lazy:

e͒.salim@salimelliyeBad habits you should quit as a developer...
🔹Not documenting your work
🔹Copy-pasting code blindly
🔹Working non stop all-day
🔹Refusing to ask for help
🔹Giving up too soon
🔹Not taking breaks
🔹Multitasking
#100DaysOfCode15:09 PM - 12 Jul 2020
My biggest regret in my career is that I spent more time comparing myself to others and worrying about how quickly my coworkers were progressing and not enough time focused on my own progress.
Everyone learns in different ways and at different speeds. Be patient! ✍️13:00 PM - 13 Jul 2020
e͒.salim@salimelliyeYou don't NEED to know 5 different programming languages to start a project.
Just start with what you know.

🛰️Francesco💙JavaScript@francescociull4If we dedicate a part of the day, even a small one, to physical training, and we eat and drink healthy, all the mental activities we will do, such as writing code or thinking about new ideas, will be easier. Our brain will be more active and it will be our ally in our lives12:19 PM - 11 Jul 2020
Catalin Pit@catalinmpitFor 6 months, I spent 1 hour every day watching tutorials before starting work.
I learnt a lot and I forgot it all since I've only watched and I didn't practice.
Nothing beats practical work. For me, at least.12:36 PM - 11 Jul 2020
e͒.salim@salimelliyeThe less code you have, the less mental load as well.
👉 Remove needless complexity
👉 Remove unused code
👉 Remove duplication
Remember...
Quality > Quantity
#100DaysOfCode12:37 PM - 11 Jul 2020
e͒.salim@salimelliyeA developer should always strive for writing clean code.
A clean code is easily readable, understandable, maintainable and extendable.

e͒.salim@salimelliyeImpostor syndrome is real, you'll face it a lot in the world of Tech...
Here are some tips to deal with it:
💭 Recognize the issue
🚀 Reflect on progress

🕺 Accept mistakes
❌ Stop comparing
🎉 Celebrate wins
🖥 Keep learning
#100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie09:11 AM - 10 Jul 2020
e͒.salim@salimelliye“With which programing language should I start?”
It doesn’t matter. Your first language is to teach you the fundamentals.
You can easily switch after you know the basics.
Stop wasting your time, pick anything and start now.
#100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie06:19 AM - 10 Jul 2020
Tola@adetolaovWhen I started working, in a bid to do perfect work, I would blow deadlines. A mentor told me, “if you won’t meet deadlines, communicate. Sometimes your work becomes irrelevant if it is late. Better to send a good work in time than a perfect work out of time”. Still working on it10:13 AM - 09 Jul 2020
Catalin Pit@catalinmpitNetwork, network, network. 90% of the opportunities I got, are the results of meeting the right people, NOT because I'm the smartest.
Yes, I know it's hard for introverts. I'm an introvert as well, but we have social media platforms that make it easier.

#100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie09:51 AM - 06 Jul 2020
When writing code, think small.
Small modules.
Small classes.
Small functions.
Small components.
Small means a higher chance of reusability and more easy to test.
Then combine small things into larger things.17:54 PM - 06 Jul 2020
Catalin Pit@catalinmpitLearning to code is not easy. Actually, it is difficult. When I learnt to code, I wanted to give up every other week.
But keep going. You got this and you can make it. Do not dare to give up.
Signed,
Someone that struggled a lot and still struggles05:49 AM - 06 Jul 2020
"I wish I had a laptop so I could start LEARNING to code."
"I wish I had XYZ so I could start."
Start now from wherever you are and with whatever you got.
You don't have a laptop? Start on your phone.
You don't have a course? Start on FCC!
Just make the first step
You got this!23:57 PM - 05 Jul 2020
Catalin Pit@catalinmpitThe reason I encourage beginners to write articles is that they understand the struggles of beginners better. They can relate and they use a simpler terminology.
Just make sure you provide accurate information and don't copy.
Start writing those articles and share knowledge!10:15 AM - 06 Jul 2020
Creating goals for your week doesn’t mean you need to add something. Maybe you just need to complete something or give up something that has held you back. What are your goals?21:31 PM - 05 Jul 2020
e͒.salim@salimelliyeHaving a good mentor can make a big difference in your coding journey, but it's definitely you who have to put in the hard-work.
If you don't work, no amount of advice is enough.

Adrian Twarog 🦘@adrian_twarogAs developers, we have some of the hardest interview processes.
We have to show our background, projects and more, we must do technical interviews, tests, follow up interviews, show working examples, prove we can do what we say.
If that's overwhelming, you're not alone.03:34 AM - 05 Jul 2020
Omzy. 🚨@onetimeomzyFor my good people with back problems01:28 AM - 04 Jul 2020
Every senior developer is a junior in a different subject.
So stop worrying about whether you are a senior, a junior or aspiring.
WE ARE ALL DEVELOPERS.
Working together, supporting each other and problem solving!02:56 AM - 05 Jul 2020
Catalin Pit@catalinmpitThings that helped me as a junior developer:
^ Do only 1 thing at a time
^ Understand the problem, solve the problem and only after that start coding
^ Ask questions. A lot.
^ Make mistakes. Admit mistakes. Learn from your mistakes.
^ Learn to listen09:14 AM - 04 Jul 2020
Normalize googling first before asking someone.04:14 AM - 04 Jul 2020
There are a lot of jobs.... If you know HTML, CSS and JavaScript.14:45 PM - 04 Jul 2020
e͒.salim@salimelliyeTake the app you’ve built in your tutorial and come up with one small feature you can add to that app.

I always talk about the importance of asking questions as a junior developer.
Equally important, regardless of your experience, is to help others by answering these questions
Even if you're not an expert, chances are you can still help with something

Deni Moka⚡@dmokafaGreat developers know when to code and when not to.
Reinventing the wheel puts unnecessary efforts on projects, extending the deadlines for them.
Use existing libraries, frameworks and off-the-shelf products to save time! Do not forget: time is money!05:20 AM - 02 Jul 2020

In many cases you can simplify your code, and solve problems by deletion not addition.
Sometimes less is more...
#100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie14:50 PM - 29 Jun 2020
e͒.salim@salimelliyeYou always learn something new everytime you break something.

If you are trying to go from A to B,
if you run, you will get there faster
If you walk, you will get there slower
BUT YOU WILL STILL GET THERE!
Don't worry about HOW LONG it takes to get to where you want to go.
Only thing that matters is that you still got there!16:06 PM - 28 Jun 2020
Deni Moka⚡@dmokafaFailing at your first interview is OK.
Introducing a bug in your software is OK.
Spending more time on grasping high and low level concepts is OK.
It is OK to fail. The most important is to learn from our failures and every time to be a better version of ourselves!10:51 AM - 28 Jun 2020
Catalin Pit@catalinmpitIt's ok to re-adjust goals. Goals change.
I planned to learn React this year but dropped it. Instead, I plan on going full-blown on AWS from now on.
Why? I use AWS professionally and personally. I can't say the same about React.
Be strict with your time. You can't get it back.11:45 AM - 27 Jun 2020

It has happened to me serveral times. I will prove them wrong.00:31 AM - 28 Jun 2020
Code reuse, using libraries, and learning from others code is all important. You don’t need to learn how to do everything from scratch. Here are some libraries that can help on the way. Part 1/X. Follow for more! #100DaysOfCode00:21 AM - 28 Jun 2020
Njoku Samson Ebere@eberetwitImagine that you are visiting a house and you knock.

Catalin Pit@catalinmpitIf you're a beginner and you want to practice Data Structures & Algorithms, I recommend CoderByte.
I find them more beginner friendly. That's what I used to prepare for interviews, and it's a great website.

Conclusion
Sometimes impostor syndrome may set in, sometimes it might seem you are not making progress, sometimes it might feel so hard. Whatever it maybe, draw strength from these tweets and know that you are not alone.
I look forward to sharing more tweets with you.
