🚀 Attention Developers: The Unwritten Laws of Software Development You NEED to Know! 🚀

Let’s be honest—no matter how many algorithms and data structures we master in school, nothing prepares us for the reality of real-world coding. 😅

That’s why I wrote a new blog post that dives into the unwritten laws of software development. These are the truths we only discover once we start shipping real code—often after learning the hard way.

💻 From understanding why perfection isn’t the goal to why communication trumps even the best-written code, this post has insights that will help you navigate the ever-changing tech world.

I break down lessons like:

  • Why debugging is a true boss fight 🕵️‍♂️
  • How documentation can literally save your sanity 📚
  • Why tech trends come and go like Bollywood plot twists 🎬 ...and much more!

It’s a blend of practical advice, a little humor, and a reminder that we’re all in this together. If you’ve ever felt like school didn’t prepare you for the real dev world, this one’s for you.
