Saying this based on my 9+ years of work, both on frontend and backend, may not be agreed by everyone :)

  • Don't just estimate coding tasks, there are other activities required which also need time like Jira hygiene, unit test, dev testing, something went wrong during development
  • Always try to resolve issues on your own, it will help you on longer run.
  • Understand business, coding is not everything.
  • Be hungry and be curious
  • Make a habit of reading and understanding code written by someone else, be it good or bad. With every read you will either learn how to code or how not to code.
  • Don't criticize others' work because they might be more intelligent than you but were limited due to tech at their time or project timelines to do coding due diligence.

Happy coding!!
