Chronicles of #baldcodr

Software development is one of the toughest professions to take up. Not necessarily because you have to internalize a lot of complex concepts or algorithms as most people think. This is mostly because of how challenging it is to stay disciplined, it can be a very tough one for lazy developers like me. As a developer, you learn a lot along the way and sometimes get to forget the majority of what you did previously in your code especially when you do not follow best practices like the ones below:
i. Commenting your code
ii. Using descriptive words for variables and function names
iii. Ensuring your function does only one thing
iv. Write unit tests
v. And some other language-specific best practices like using arrow functions for improved code readability in Javascript.

You know challenging it is to find information on a specific technology you are working on, sometimes Stackoverflow fails.
