@smlpth @ludofleury ChatGPT's answers today resonate with this thread 😅
"However, it's important to note that without having the full context of the application and the rest of the codebase, my suggestions will be limited to what can be discerned from the visible code snippets"

CGPT is aware of it

@smlpth I have heard https://t.co/5cvq2PLddN is good at it, but I can't test it in my country.

@smlpth I'm wondering if GitHub Copilot is better at this🤔?

@ryanlpeterman On "✅ Double check your code before submitting it for review":

A good practice when you start is to have a checklist of things you shouldn't forget:

-PR Description
-Commit Naming
-Code Formatting
...

And augment this list with feedback you've received from previous PRs.

@loganthorneloe I recommend the "Zettelkasten" method with tools like Obsidian. It promotes deep understanding by linking related notes. Also, keeping a daily tech log helps track progress and challenges faced. I'm a fan of Notion for structured docs!

🚀 (1/4) How to Become a Product-Minded Engineer :

@emildzwonek Two additional tips for a pragmatic programmer:

➡️ Problem Solver: You don't just find problems, you find solutions and take the initiative to implement them.
➡️ Continuous Learner: You stay updated with the latest industry trends and constantly enhance your skill.

@svpino I completely agree with the importance of these 5 skills. Additionally, soft skills like communication, teamwork, and adaptability are equally critical.
