Great article Yax!

p.s. Tip: It'd be nice to add your social media handlers in your Hashnode profile so people can follow easier your work.

Definitely agree with learning about your company's tech stack. It has so many added benefits of understanding that specific tech stack in a production environment. The fundamentals gained from this can be passed on to future jobs/projects as well.

Loved the article. I'm looking forward to utilizing some of your ideas. I like how you said don't be afraid to learn even if you could do some extra work to help the company. Both would benefit, but I think you're dead on that the latter could be crucial in key situations! Thanks!

Some really good advice here. and for a change, it is not about how to pass an interview, or how to solve codewars or other problem sites!

Great article and insights.

I find the most important thing is understanding the problem you are trying to understand. You can't solve I a problem you don't understand.

Talking with end users is also key. Often product managers are often not good at understanding or communicating the problem.

Next, understand your current tech stack, probably 50% of what you need to do is already done.

And finally, the simpler the solution is better. KISS. Don't over engineer.
