I have been dealing with this feeling for years, and I still do. In the beginning, it was really frustrating for me, day by day, step by step, I learned to “TRY DEALING WITH IT”, not fully “DEALING WITH IT” yet, because I’m not at that level. Let me share a story that might be Continue reading “It’s ok to feel afraid when working to fill your knowledge gaps as a developer”

Take a breath before continue
When I sense that my motivation to publish is driven by the desire to share for the sake of just sharing or to impress others, I take a break from posting to realign myself and my goal from the whole thing. Impressing people was never and will never be the reason I began sharing, but Continue reading “Take a breath before continue”
Knowledge comes on the way.
In life, and especially in software development, you can not always fully understand every step or action right away. I used to struggle with this feeling, like I wasn’t good enough if I didn’t completely understand every detail of what I was doing in programming. However, I was wrong. It’s totally normal to use or Continue reading “Knowledge comes on the way.”
Delegation Skills Is a Must In Software Development
In the field of software development, mastering delegation is a must. I’ve always known this from learning and practicing in real-life work scenarios, as well as from various web conferences and podcasts discussing the importance of delegation. However, it wasn’t until today that I fully know its significance. Without delegation, you may experience the following: Continue reading “Delegation Skills Is a Must In Software Development”
The Joy of Understanding One Line of Code
In your software development career, you’ve probably experienced the joy of truly understanding a line of code, right?
You can rely on existing solutions
I used to believe that building everything from scratch was the mark of a good developer. However, I understand later that this mindset reflects a lack of experience and problem-solving skills. In the real world, developers often rely on prebuilt solutions rather than creating everything themselves. While we might not always understand the inner workings Continue reading “You can rely on existing solutions”
Code Reading is important!
One of the most important things I’ve focused on recently is reading a lot of code written by others. Even if I don’t understand some large parts of the code blocks I’m reading, it’s a way to train my brain muscles, boosting both my imagination and logic. By reading others’ code, you gain new perspectives Continue reading “Code Reading is important!”
One Day Without Using YouTube
The best way to test if you are addicted to something is to try living one day without it. This way, you can observe your behavior. That’s exactly what I tried today. I used to be a heavy YouTube user, primarily for learning technical and Islamic topics. I believed I was using it positively, which Continue reading “One Day Without Using YouTube”
It’s not about being “WOW”, it’s about be a part of the team.
When you are part of a team, it’s not about being a “wow” person; it’s about truly being part of the team. This idea always motivates me to keep learning, so I can be an asset to the team. When you’re part of a team, strive to do just this: It’s about working as a Continue reading “It’s not about being “WOW”, it’s about be a part of the team.”
Document the Problems You Solve!
When you encounter an error during your workday as a developer, don’t simply acknowledge the mistake and promise to avoid it next time. From my personal experience, that approach doesn’t work, and you’re likely to forget the error for sure. Instead, write down what you should avoid in the future. Place these notes somewhere you Continue reading “Document the Problems You Solve!”
