Coding is writing.
In writing, these things matter:
โ Clarity
โ Brevity
โ Spelling
โ Formatting
โ Punctuation
โ Terminology
โ Consistency
โ Grouping related concepts
โ Breaking ideas down into digestible pieces
So these things matter in coding too.

What does this mean? This means that ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ท๐ผ๐ฏ ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐น๐๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ๐บ๐.
This includes:
๐น Talking to customers
๐น Do system design
๐น Writing docs
๐น Finding ways to resolve different kinds of problems in the most efficient manner
๐น Analyzing existing and future solutions
๐น Talking with your peers
๐น Making plans and executing it
๐น Learning new stuff
๐น Do different types of testing
๐น Troubleshoot existing system
๐น Using common sense
๐น And more...
When you get the problem, sit first, try to understand, ask, clarify, then make a plan and execute. Do not jump into coding immediately.

But if you can resolve something without a code, even better.
And remember that ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ ๐น๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐, ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐!
Every line of code you write needs to be executed somewhere; we must pay for this in runtime, etc.
We don't want to be a ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ but a team that produces high-quality software and efficiently solves our clients' problems.
Do you agree?

SOLID, CQRS, Whatever.
This meme is just way too true.
There is a misdirected pride in making things overly complex in many cases.
Aim to keep things simple. and evolve from there if you have too.
The benefits of taking a break while coding:
โข You work smarter, not harder
โข You think more clearly
โข You can be your own pair of fresh eyes
โข Being nice to your body is good for your brain
โข Think about the problem domain from a different angle
Have you learned about SOLID principles X years ago, but now struggle to remember what each letter stands for? @tastapod came up with CUPID - an alternative that could be easier to remember: https://t.co/BXWCvesARR

The "make everything an interface, just in case" movement is a scourge in .NET. Software developers think it is best practice and make their lives harder for no good reason.

This was me 4 years ago. No phone, no laptop, with the passion to code!
I'd borrow my uncle's phone to copy content from W3Schools, learn, & practice when I got hold of a computer. ๐
Still don't own a computer, but I got a job as Front-end Developer late last year.
V 0.2, the first major release, is out!
