🚨 Calling All Developers: Are You Making These Common Mistakes? 🚨

Hey, fellow devs! 👩‍💻👨‍💻

We’ve all been there—deploying a “perfect” codebase only to face production nightmares or skipping documentation thinking, “I’ll remember this later” (spoiler: you won’t). Coding is as much about fixing mistakes as it is about writing code. But what if you could avoid the most common pitfalls altogether?

👉 That’s what my latest blog post is all about!

🛠️ 10 Common Developer Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them) 🛠️
From ignoring performance optimization to overengineering simple solutions, I’ve put together a relatable and practical guide to help you write cleaner, faster, and more efficient code.

Here’s What You’ll Find:
🔍 How to tackle poor version control habits (Git mishaps, anyone?).
🛡️ Simple steps to level up your app’s security.
🧘 The importance of self-care (because burnt-out developers can’t debug).
🛑 And yes, why skipping tests will come back to haunt you.
🎯 Why You Should Read This Blog:
It’s not just a dry list of do’s and don’ts. I’ve sprinkled it with real-life lessons, relatable Indian humor (hello, chai-fueled late-night coding sessions!), and actionable tips. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting, this post will resonate with you.
