. Keep finding a working solution first and foremost,
. revisit and refactor when new concepts and better technique can significantly improve your working solution
. read and write (code) everyday
. (most important) share and teach anytime you have a holy s*** moment. teaching will force you to learn and get better

Thank you for your reply, It was very helpful!

. revisit and refactor when new concepts and better technique can significantly improve your working solution

StackOverflow to the rescue!

. read and write (code) everyday

( and night!)

. (most important) share and teach anytime you have a holy s*** moment. teaching will force you to learn and get better.

I have certainly found this to be the case.
Back in highschool I sat next to two people who really struggled and helping them inturn really helped me improve my code and realise a better way to write it or engrain it in my memory!
On top of that I used to have to lead the class in middle school as my teacher would literally ask me and my friend for help as she was out of her depth! 😂
