This isn’t a rant. These are simply my thoughts on how you can become a better programmer.
We all have goals, implicit or explicit that we strive to achieve.
Sometimes we succeed, and other times we fall, we fail.
And as with all things in life, it is important to learn from your mistakes.
Becoming a better programmer is a balancing act between the abstract and the conrete parts of you as a programmer. Too much into one end and your stuck hunting down an invisible bug to the ends of the earth.

Balance better

My tips on how to strike that balance;

  1. Know where you are and I’m not talking about physical space.
  2. Do not waste time, every step should help you ascend, regardless of planning. For example;
    1. Do not dwell on mundane tasks, automate them out of the way fast.
  3. Exercise your fingers, your body, and your mind regularly.
  4. Learn how to learn.

I hope you find my list helpful/useful until then, happy coding.
