Soon I will complete 10 years as a software developer 👇

In this thread, I will talk about my experience with the job and the industry.

Some honest Takeaways 🧵

#100DaysOfCode
1. No one can stop you when you master the basics 👇

-You can start with any technology you want. But if you’re struggling, take a pause & restart your tech journey.

-Remember all new & fancy frameworks are based on the basics.

-Master basics you can code in anything 💪
2. “What's more important to you: Quantity or Quality?”

Your answer might be: it depends.

But until you do an experiment in your core areas, how do you actually know about the quality.

Go & take calculative risk & be the change.
3. Professional Relationship (Create your bridges)

We all are humans behind code. It’s also about making connections & professional relationships.

Don't just always consume, help others as much as possible, time will return the favor.

Don't burn your bridges, Always create😎
4. Years of experience won’t make you qualified for a job.

Everyone looks for a genuine experience

People have different learning curves.

The only time we get a chance to be qualified is when we act.

Don't stay in your comfort zone. Look outside, world is moving faster.
“To be an expert in a field that changes from one day to the next is akin to placing your hand in a running river; you can trap a small bit of water for the moment, but once you lift your hand again the river rushes on”

5. Coding game is really challenging👇

There are no short cuts.

You need to find a balance between coding & your health
Coding is mentally demanding.

Depression is a real thing, always look for help.

Look for mentorship, Talk your best friends.

Job security is a myth.
6- Always be a team player 👇

We win as a team, we lose a team.

Software development is a team game.

you need to act & take responsibility as per your role.
7- Always respect diversity 👇

Everyone talks about diversity.

Sometimes humans talk a good game, but don't follow through on their promises.

A diverse IT team is an asset that can help to drive innovation.
people of different backgrounds can have ideas for new products and services that would be of interest to a broad audience or even a niche sector.

Those are good business reasons for seeking a diverse workforce. However, there's an even better reason, and it's a human reason.
8. Don't try to learn everything, YOU can't.

Find your NICHE, Master that one

Look for another area, again master that one & so on...
