Win of the day:
Launched the MVP of my event scheduling app!

Lot of work still to be done, but one of my mentors told me the value of a 'happy pass', and so I'm super excited to present exactly that 🚀

@hussien_coding Rib and unfortunately there is no other right answer 😅

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

@hussien_coding Welcome back Hussien, missed your tweets! Hope you’re well 🙏🏽

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

@hussien_coding This is lifesaving advice imo especially when starting out. I find its only embarrassing in the moment, but when you effectively fix the problem that the question was related to, the judgment stops pretty quickly😅

[Hussien 🇨🇦 @hussien_coding]

Should you add comments to your code or not?

Here's a general rule to follow

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

Today was a great day in my developer journey. Got a chance to successfully troubleshoot a config error in a required .NET microservice, which ONLY showed up on M1 Macs! Documented my solution for the next round of M1 developers and it felt good 💪🏽

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

@hussien_coding Do it 100%! Be ready and open to fail and be rejected many many times but know it’ll pay off.

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

@mahmoud_mkd Thank you! 🙏🏽

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

Came across and fixed my first CORS issue this week, feels like this is a developer milestone 😂

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

@numulaa_ For sure! Can’t say I’m even close to being as good of a resource as a senior dev though 😅

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

In 1 hour of pair programming with a senior dev, I learn more than I did in 2 weeks during a bootcamp 😂

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

@hussien_coding Thanks for the shoutout Hussien!! Could not have done it without your advice and support!

[Hussien 🇨🇦 @hussien_coding]

I had a coffee chat again with @taimur_coding after getting his first after job after his bootcamp.

He's a great of example of someone who worked countless nights after his old day job to get into the industry and then landed a great role.

Very proud of him

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

@brianbud_ That was my situation too! But in my opinion just bc I didn’t have a software job didn’t mean I was not a developer, so the headline is well-earned. Plus I think from a company’s POV, they would likely be hesitant if a candidate only partially considered themselves a dev!

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

My daily life as a software engineer:

11AM: “I’m not smart enough for this and I’ll be exposed as a fraud”

3PM: “I am the smartest most genius person to cross this earth ever”

4:59PM: “Is that a bug…?”

And the cycle repeats 🥲

8 years as a software engineer and I still run away from all tasks that have anything to do with dates and timezones.

Mentorship lesson 101: Run away from dates 👍

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

I used to think being a Software Engineer meant being able to code-out any problem on the spot, but I now understand that I’m really being paid to think, research, and figure out how to solve the problem in the best way possible. The coding part from there is pretty simple.

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

After recently starting as a Fulltime Software Eng, I’ve become obsessed with well-structured codebases. It’s so satisfying when I’m able to quickly identify how things work and implement an enhancement. Definitely has reinforced the importance of planning before writing🤓

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

After taking a break from tweeting on Tech Twitter, I’m excited to start it back up again.

Consistency is key but breaks are definitely necessary to stay sane 😅

[Taimur Hasan @taimur_coding]

Finally solved a tough leetcode, only thing that changed between the wrong submissions and the accepted one was that I stepped away to eat lunch 😂
