Want to start 100 days of Code again?

Thu Htet Tun — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 05:28:00 +0000

Hello devs,

I did my first 100 days of code once.
It got me some progress in my career.

Now, I wish I could do it again to level up my career.
I would post my 100 days of code progress in dev.to as well.

month 8,9,10 will be my average challenging months to reach 100 days target.

Mostly I will focus on Code structure, design patterns and AWS certified learning.

My Rules

At least 1 hour studying time will be taken each day.
After studying, will post on social media like Facebook, dev.to.
Will track my daily progress with some app
Will Review every week (at the end of week, mostly like Sunday night)
Will Keep Notes
After finishing 100 days of code, I will review myself and let everyone know about my 100 days journey

Everyone, Give me energy and Wish me luck!

Thanks!!

Ways to Make Money?

Thu Htet Tun — Sat, 02 Oct 2021 09:49:07 +0000

hello guys!

I won't explain you with long and complicate words for that coz everybody can make money on their own way,
so here's the key points to modify your mind.

Don't ever think about making money is hard
You can make money right now but amount will be based on yours.
You can't make money right now .. it takes time to make money.. but amount will be based on yours preparation.

That's all.
Making money is not hard. Choose your way.

For me, I'm not that rich now. But I can live on my own and currently follow that No.3 rule to set up my mind. I wanna make more income streams as much as I can. I'm currently working on a full time job but I wanna expand my income by teaching and sharing.
After that, making passive incomes will be my final target.

Think about what's your method to make money.

Thanks for your time.

Show Custom Lat/Long Location using Google Map API

Thu Htet Tun — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 11:59:52 +0000

Today, I am assigned a task from my today work (Jira).
That was I have to query available shop location and nearby rider location from database and show them on a map with its own information.

For this, I used google map api. The host application is used Laravel and yes, JavaScript is a must to involve in this case.

I won't tell you all my process coz it'll be boring and long.
So, I'm going to tell you only basic steps you can follow.

First step,

Go to google developer console and get an api key.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key
add div tag in your blade template.
map data will be render into that document using that id (map).

   <div id="map"></div>

import google map script tag. You've got api key from step 1 right?. Add that api key to {your_api_key} place. 'myMap' will be the callback function name that we'll add later.

   <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key={your_api_key}&callback=myMap"></script>

Add myMap function. In this case, we add a pair of lat/long location as center and marker on map. In order to show on map, we render on map data on our div using document.getElementById('map'). It has a lot of cool features google.maps so if you are interested to test, you can do more research on this.

  function myMap() {

            var center = {lat: 16.81265991142744, lng: 96.12810673385788};
            var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
                zoom: 12,
                center: center
            });
            let marker =new google.maps.Marker({
                 position: {lat: 16.81265991142744, lng: 96.12810673385788},
                map: map,
              icon: 'http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/green-dot.png'
             });
    }

Yeah, you can test with multiple locations and markers and so on. That'll be pretty fun.

Thanks for your time.

1 thing that got me software developer job

Thu Htet Tun — Sun, 12 Sep 2021 06:19:41 +0000

Hello dev!

There is one important thing that got me first software developer job.

I'm not going to explain with long letters. But will tell you the key point. It is not hard work or dedication or any others.

For me, it was that I coded programs for free.

I learned first. I applied it with small projects.
Then, I asked for real-world projects from my friends' family businesses and others sources.

Actually, I did not get paid from it.
I did not ask for it also.
But I got a lot of experience from building that projects.
Also, I'm more confident to apply software developer job application.

The key point to get a job for me is doing real-world projects with FREE.

In this way, I got client networks, developer networks, experiences, and jobs.

I hope this will help you to see my way to get a job.

Pls Share us How you get your first job in this comment section.

Thanks for your time.

Why You Should Meditate Daily (As Developer)

Thu Htet Tun — Fri, 30 Apr 2021 13:32:33 +0000

Hello My Devs Friends,

About Six years ago, I started my meditation journey because of an accident of mine. Some books helped me to become meditating. It helps me a lot in my daily life.

Today, I decide to write an article about why you should meditate daily (as developer).

Let's get started.

Meditation

Simply, Meditation is awareness of yourself.
Meditation practices you to know yourself in every seconds of your life.

Why You Need Meditation

Formally, when you meditate, you have to be sitting down and focus on one thing. And Control your mind tightly. But that's misunderstanding. we need more understanding of what real meditation is.

Whenever you are sitting down or walking or lying down, it is all about being aware and stay in the present moment (second by second).

Don't control your mind tightly. Let it be flow. But keep knowing along with your current thoughts. Once you've known your are thinking about the past, drag those thoughts to the present moment. Sometimes, you may think about the future. Just aware it and drag those thoughts to the present softly.

You don't have to worry about them. It is nature that our thoughts are jumping from one place to another. In general, we have multiple of thoughts changing in every 5 minutes. Thoughts are mostly bad for us. They give us many emotional such as pain, anger, anxiety, depression and so much more. We called it the negative thoughts.
Then, thoughts become actions, Right? Your negative thoughts will make you to act unstable actions.

How do we reduce and avoid those negative thoughts and actions?
Meditation can solve those problems of our daily lives.

It is like a filter of mind. if you have awareness, You will be knowing every things of your mind. In this way, Negative thoughts are not becoming your action. On the other hand, you don't also have to think about positive thoughts so hard.

Be awareness of something in the present.
And maintain that awareness.

If you are walking, you could aware of your foot steps.
If you are sitting down, you could aware of your breathing (in and out).
If you are working, you could aware of your work.
If you are driving, you could aware that your are driving.
If you are in anger, you could aware of your angry mind.
If you are talking to someone, you could aware of listening or speaking.
Whatever you do, you can apply meditation in daily life.

That is meditation.

As a developer,
You need to relax your mind without screen time.
Also, sleeping is not the best way to reset your mind.
Sleeping and meditation are not same. They are a lot of different.
Try to clear your mind with meditation.
Only practical lesson will teach you.
So, just do it.

Bonus Tips

"To know and not to do is not yet to know"

Let me know your meditation experience in this comment section.

If you prefer to watch this content,
I also uploaded it on my YouTube Channel with nice editing.
Watch Here:

I hope you got some awareness from this article.

I have also plan to write about my personal experience of meditation in one of my coming articles.
