3 Useful tricks for every new developer out there...

1- KNOW HOW TO SEARCH 🕸 🙃
What will be the ideal solution is some tool that you can use to find the piece of code that you are looking for. Possibly, a file searching tool. Many of them exist, I use AstroGrep at work. It is a GUI version of grep for Linux. What it helps you to do is: to search for a piece of text through a directory.

2- READ THOSE ERROR MESSAGES 😫
What I discuss is simple, but paying close attention to those small details is a time-saver. Eventually, you will become self-reliant and more productive at your job. YES! THEY ARE DISPLAYED FOR YOU.

3- MY CLOSEST FRIEND 🕺💃
Try debugging the application by stepping through the code and see how it works. This will help you to have a better sense of what the code is doing. STEP BY STEP...

CONCLUSION 🏁
The goal is for you to become a better self-reliant developer. Thanks for reading.

HAPPY CODING!🎊
