The 10 Most Valuable Lessons I Learned As A Developer

Amazing piece, thanks for sharing. The part that resonates most is to be more vocal and we will never know everything.

Great article and agree with most of the points. Here are my additions:

1. I do take breaks each hour but I don't set a timer or anything like that. I tried the Pomodoro technique as well, the problem is, sometimes (rarely) I'm in the zone and I don't want to stop. Yesterday I sat down and cranked out a blog post in two hours, without a break. Rarely but it happens, so I don't restrict myself when to take breaks.

2. I realized this almost too late but I'm glad I finally realized it

3. Software is made to solve problems. This is really important to understand, especially for beginners wanting to try & push tons of things into a new project. I like boring, boring is good.

This is very helpful Thanks for this 🙏 this is not a blog this is a great learning opportunity

Great article. Another point that was a valuable lesson for me is:

"Don't be afraid to fail".

Failing is the fastest way to learn and grow.

Thanks for sharing Oliver!

Fantastic Article!! I'm working on point 7 I still find it a little bit difficult

Great article sir!

Awesome article! 👏 As I become more and more experienced, I finally can relate how much depends on non-technical skills, really valuable tips.

When I started reading this article, I was "I love lesson 1, 3, and 5", but as I kept reading I couldn't keep track of all the lessons that spoke to me.

This is a very insignificant article, Oliver Jumpertz. Thanks for sharing 😃

Great, 🙌

That's valuable information, especially regarding "being a people person"!

Nice piece ❤️. All 10 makes a whole lot of sense. Thanks for sharing this, Oliver.

This may be my first step towards being a pro dev. Thank you. I hope to see more articles from you

Great article Oliver, Thank you for sharing! 😀

Good article I agree with many of those points.

As always an awesome article Oliver! Especially 1 and 7 are so important and i started both rather late.

So for anyone here that is new, do it! :D

I couldn't have encountered this article at a better time. Thanks for sharing your invaluable experience, Oliver!
