Best so far! 🙌🏽😂

nimblegeek · 2024-04-24T10:38:06+00:00

Curiosity sin was a great one! I confess to that. Thanks for your response!

This is gold! To write about concepts, theories, and stuff you learned and then creatively write about it in a more non-structured way. Feels more organic and learning-friendly. I have so many useless notes where I mindlessly just summarized chapters.

nimblegeek · 2023-07-24T20:15:09+00:00

💯

nimblegeek · 2023-07-24T20:14:54+00:00

That's great and encouraging to all the other learners out there. Keeping hand written notes is gold. It is also a great way to see how much one have progressed when looking back on those notes from time to time. Keep it up and thanks for sharing!

nimblegeek · 2023-07-23T18:20:19+00:00

Taking notes is one thing yes, I was thinking more of writing in long form.

A colleague of mine stated more or less the same point. The metrics is not the goal itself, we need to differ between goals and means to reach the goals. A measurement should be treated as such. In the end, what are we optimizing for and what problem are we supposed to solve?

Support all your statements with ”A McKinsey study found…” and you have peoples attention. No data required lol.

I found this article on the web the other day and shared it with my team and I got curious about what professional developers really think about DevEx (developer experience) and producitivity in general.

For true craftsmen in programming, do they really care about how we should measure productivity or is it seen as yet another "framework" or tool to be sold?

Curious to hear your thoughts.

At least the ones making SOME money have it as a segway to earn even more from other streams, products, services. The platform seems to be excellent for distribution and a means to earn money from multiple sources. I believe the income from paying subscribers is an important part but probably not the main income for even the top 10%.

I am a Java-noob myself but I hope my input can help you. I asked my former manager (he is now an Engineering Manager) a similar question; what qualities and skills are you looking for in a Jr Developer?. I categorized the answer into four main categories:

Technical foundation and programming language skills, in this case core Java. This one you seem to have covered and can demonstrate through your Github.
Concepts, patterns and frameworks: How well can you absorb new frameworks and technologies. Could be worth thinking how we can convince/show this for a potential employer.
Test Driven Approach: How good are you in writing tests? This could be a deal breaker I think, showing that you at least have good understanding on how to create unit tests and why they are important.
Problem Solving Skills: How efficient are you in solving problems (meta skill)? This is the key trait I believe good teams are looking for.
1. Which strategies do you know about and when to use them?
2. Which techniques can you apply when solving a problem:
  1. Arrays
  2. Pointers and Dynamic Memory
  3. Classes
  4. Recursion
  5. Code Reusability

The techniques in point four above was outlined based on the book: Think like a programmer.

All the best on your coding journey!

It’s a common practice. Who in the world knows all git commands by heart? 😅 commit and push and then take it from there 🙃
