Great tips for maintaining mental health as a developer! Balancing work and well-being is crucial, whether it’s managing stress, getting enough rest, or staying physically active. Interestingly, new medical advancements like Tirzepatide are also helping people improve overall health and well-being, which can positively impact mental clarity and energy levels. Prioritizing health leads to better productivity!
I'm a bit delayed in responding but I had this article saved. @jgdevelopments such an awesome share. It can be so easy to feel defeated and stressed by bugs. I personally can say I've felt this way as I'm very tough on myself, but I love your reminder to embrace the chaos. I especially love what you wrote about laughing at the bugs. ❤️ That is so true- one thing I've learned as I was working through bootcamp was to learn to treat my bugs as learning opportunities instead of failures. ❤️
Hit the nail right on the head. All bugs can be learning opportunities! Embracing the chaos I feel is so important. On the job its important too. With deadlines changing, high pressure demos, new requirements and managing dependencies across other teams, dev life can be pretty exhausting. Embracing the chaos and allowing yourself to thrive in it is crucial to staying mentally sane haha!!
Ah that's a good one. I've been trying to write perfect code from the start for some time now (I kind of expect it with 10 years of experience from myself), and this quote just made me realise it's stressing me out.
YES! That's the point. I too, no where near as seasoned as you, have came to that realization as well, one of the reasons I wrote this. I don't think I am nearly as good of a dev when I am "brute forcing" a bug/problem haha. I think frustration clouds our ability to think clearly about a bug or feature.
Thanks for your insightful comment!
Nice suggestions here 😊 Having a positive attitude toward the chaos that software development can bring can certainly be challenging, but if you can do it successfully, it brings a lot of fun and joy into your life. Love to see posts about keeping it positive! Keep up the great work
Thank you so much for your insightful comment!! I will try my best!
Mental health is crucial to productivity, work/life quality, ambition and to so many other aspects. Like you, I love to see others shed light on it.
Great topic! Starting out as a web developer can be an intense and demanding experience, but maintaining your mental health is crucial. It's important to find ways to manage stress and stay balanced. Taking regular breaks, staying active, and maintaining a healthy diet can make a big difference. Another helpful tip is incorporating natural supplements into your routine. For example, mullein leaf supplements are known for their benefits to respiratory health, which can be especially useful if you're spending long hours indoors. Remember to take care of your mind and body as you navigate the challenges of web development.
