Thoughts about software engineering and life

Synchronous and Asynchronous code by simple examples

In software development, there are two important concepts: synchronous and asynchronous behavior. JavaScript developers, especially those who use vanilla JavaScript, know these well because of how promises work. I like to explain things in a simple way, so it’s easier for me and others to understand new topics. Synchronous Programming Let’s imagine you went to Continue reading “Synchronous and Asynchronous code by simple examples”

It’s ok to feel afraid when working to fill your knowledge gaps as a developer

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”

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.”

Understanding Method Spoofing in Laravel

Title: Understanding Method Spoofing in Laravel When working with request/response methods, different HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH have custom purposes. POST is generally used for creating resources, while PUT and PATCH are intended for updates. But as a developer, you’ll often see POST used for updates too. This happens due to browser Continue reading “Understanding Method Spoofing in Laravel”

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”

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!”

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.”
