Dev Tips for You
  • Spend time getting to know your code editor:
    • extensions
    • shortcuts
    • configurations
  • Familiarise yourself with your workflows:
    • This might mean configurations for different workflows.
  • Document everything:
    • If you spend considerable time away, you’ll forget a lot of things!
    • Imagine all that specialised knowledge lost.
    • And time wasted trying to remember or learn them again.
    • That said, don’t spend too much time away.
  • Examine and re-examine everything, things change all the time!
  • How good you get is based on your interest and your habits:
    • are you interested?
    • are you attentive?
    • do you plan?
    • do you document?
    • do you think things through?
  • Don’t be lazy:
    • When you see something that shouldn’t be in your code from the last time, just fix it.
