أنا باك اند و حاليا بتعلم ui/ux عشان أعرف أعمل مشاريع شكلها مبهر و تجذب ناس أكتر هل أنا كده بفكر صح ولا بشتت نفسي 🤔

I'm trying to learn more about ui/ux even though I'm a backend dev to make my projects look cooler, am I making a mistake by distracting myself? 🤔

في أكيد امثلة اكتر من كده بس ده اللي لاحظته في الفرق بين الجونيور و السينيور و عقلية كل واحد فيهم بتختلف إزاي مع الوقت.

[Shawky Khalil @shawky_khalil]

في رحلتي اني أحاول أبقي سينيور أو أقرب من دماغ الناس السينيور في مجالنا كان دايما عندي فضول أعرف إيه السينيور يعرفه آكتر من الجونيور او بيفكر إزاي.

اكتشفت الآتي...

I have exactly 96 FOLLOWERS, I know, pathetic, why would more people want to follow me, what value or change do I provide to the world.

I'm no expert in my field, but if I can do one thing, it will be posting about my journey, tips, mistakes I've made until I get somewhere.

@DMSCoding11 Because eventually that's all what we're aiming for, MONEY 💰

Well... Most of us at least.

[Shawky Khalil @shawky_khalil]

I'm a software developer and I choose Sales, because if you can build the best software in the world, it's worth nothing if you don't know how to sell it.

[Dumisani Mananga @DMSCoding11]

If you could master one overnight:

1. Coding (Build anything)
2. Sales (Sell anything)
3. Design (Make it beautiful)

Which skill wins? 🚀

Quick Tip if you use Node.js 💻

If you're not using Nestjs in your projects, DO NOW.

It helps you maintain a clean and organized folder structure.

You will build modular monolith apps that can be easily split into Microservices later.

Sometimes I see people here start their own challenges until they achieve a certain goal.

I'm thinking of doing the same, like tweeting everyday for the next 365 days until I get a remote job a decent company.

What do you guys think 🤔

[Shawky Khalil @shawky_khalil]

Building a scalable projects requires creating a clean organized folder structure, that's why I decided to learn NestJS, I find it hard to learn in one or two days, I took some time to grasp some concepts.

I've already started an ecom project using nestjs, let's see how it goes

[Shawky Khalil @shawky_khalil]

Most people start by building an ecommerce project, maybe because it covers many aspects and can include many features.

What do you guys think 🤔

[Shawky Khalil @shawky_khalil]

The clear difference I saw between a junior and a senior engineer is the How and Why?

A junior asks how to implement a feature, but a senior asks why we're building it, is it necessary for the business? Will it survive millions of users?

It's not just about writing code.

[Shawky Khalil @shawky_khalil]

Building side projects is fun, but what isn't fun is not finishing them. 🥲

I can't count how many unfinished projects I have.

But I guess now I know why!

You should feel you're committed to it like someone is paying you for it.

That way you're closer to finishing it.

[Shawky Khalil @shawky_khalil]

@ApplyWiseAi Not necessarily system design but anything related to what I do to keep me committed.
