"Weeks of programming can save hours of planning"
Haha, Yes exactly!!
Writing down all the problems I’ve solved in one massive google doc has been a game changer. I can then search the doc for keywords and quickly find any solution I need. I also just write helpful tips and info in it too. Keyword search on a massive knowledge doc is so incredibly helpful
This is absolutely the best advice ever I am really glad I have found this channel as a junior software Developer.
Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you found my channel too.
your first advice ?
MOST UNDERRATED CODING UA-camR
Thank you! I will just keep posting and hopefully people will notice 🤞🏻
Great advice on the whole! I do want to push back on your advice to not reinvent the wheel a little. There are always trade offs and knowing where to draw the line is important (leftpad anyone?) obviously for something complex like password hashing you will be far better off using someone else’s tried and tested solution - but even so, in non production environments it can be very useful to try to reinvent the wheel because you’ll learn so much about how the thing you’re trying to reinvent works.
These are amazing!
Great video. What tools are you using to store and organize your code templates / bolierplates? Github, Notion, or...?
If it is a complete boilerplate, then I will store it in GitHub. For small code snippets, I usually put these in Obsidian, so they are easier to search for.
Hello, Sir your this UA-cam cannel is very helpful for the beginners too who really want to go in this industry like me. I am a computer science major student . I want to ask you some technical question personally , can you please provide me your email id.
