Guiding Software Developer Through "Darkness" 🤪

Are you an angry software developer?
Are you tired, bored, hated with your current software development environment?

This is what I thought from daily routines for years.
I grouping into three parts: mentality, technicality and be life.
I want to write it as-is. "literally" 😬

Mentality

Do not complain, fix it!

You cannot revert time.
What’s your idea to solve the problems?
What are you proposing to solve the problems?

Yes, you can blame but do not underestimate.

A fellow developer is brothers, do not judge them, its not fair.
You don’t know what kind of situation they face it on that day.
Blame the person who pushes them to the edge and ignores their capability.
Blame the person who hired them, why they cannot enable the potential of the developer.
Blame the developer if you know them so fucking well ☺, it’s fair enough.
Blame yourself if it’s fucking yourself, be brave be honest!

Speak up! You're not dumb.

If anything makes you doubt? speak up!
If you think something is not right? speak up! Share your knowledge, principle, or thought
Communicate, collaborate, and negotiate.

Do wrong! you're not a fucking perfect person.

When something comes to you and in a hurry, follow the philosophy:

Make it run first
Make it right: “later” is lead to technical debt, problems debt. Wrote it, share it.
Make it fast: You are the winner.

There will be always fucking changes!

Typically, software requirements are fragile until it's done!
Accept it! don’t grumble, be an adult.
If changes are too fast, say it loud, this is fucking shit! but then finish it!

Technicality

Follow the fucking convention.

Write a readable and understandable variable name, method name, class name, etc.
Naming things is hard but you need to be better from day to day.

Follow SOLID principle as much as you can, balancing it.

Always write code with single responsibility in mind first, then adjust it, balancing it
Organize things! put things(code) on the right places.
Do not add shit! on top a shit! ‘cuz you will become a fucking shit!

Refactoring please and do not keep shit! that relates to your work.

You will find bad code, really, you will.
Refactor it as much as you can when your task-related.
So, learn how to refactor! Yes! you need to learn about fucking refactoring.

Be Life. You are not a fucking zombie!

Knowing the goal.

Find out the purpose is necessary because you can get the insight. (curiosity)
You need to know exactly what you are fucking doing!

Train insane or remain the same.

If you don’t challenge, you won’t change.
But don’t forget to get sleep.
Sleep is fucking needed! but don’t overdo it.

When you are in fucking emotion.

Transform your emotion to other activities, such as gaming, travelling, hangout, etc.
Cure it with positive things.

Welcome aboard! Please show us your damn attitude!
