When I first start coding, I found it easy and thought that we can get from the google and coding so easy. But within time I understand that my this idea was flop. So I try to make myself better coder and started to learn many things also started working on my other skills too. Now I know properly why I do coding. Are you aware that why you are coding ? First find your “Why”. That is really important. Today I’m going share some tips how you can be a better coder. Have a look –
- Don’t memorize, understand the logic and flow.
- Read documentations, because they know the best. But sometimes, official documentations are not good, so use some tutorial or blogs to understand.
- Stop watching so many tutorial, just work on code.
- Try to refactor the code you already wrote.
- Stop comparing yourself with others, your solution can be different from other but try to achieve the best performance or quality code.
- Stop overthinking to solve a problem. First use some baby step and finally make it better with taking time.
- Organize your folder properly so you can work with a team easily.
- Try to naming variables or function properly
There are so many other tips also. But I just wanted to keep it simple and short. Long articles are pain sometimes right ? I have the same feelings while I read too. Do you get now what you should do ?

All good stuff. I would recommend reading the book "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin. It goes over a lot of what you recommend.
Perhaps a silly question but would you say a book like this expects a lot of previous knowledge about coding from the reader? Or would you rather recommend this book as early as possible for a developer who is just starting out?
Learn a language and basic programming concepts first. (Data structures, algorithms, basic principles, and language syntax.) This would probably be a good read towards the end of your "beginner" learning path. You don't need to be an expert programmer to gain a lot from Clean Code but a pure beginner may not be able to glean as much useful information yet. I would read it before you get too far though and start ingraining bad habits.
I didn't learned through books honestly and I find that understanding something by reading book is hard, when it is a technical thing.
I was a video so that I can hear and see and try to understand how someone is doing it.
Then after writing code I spent time with to playing and changing values, think more about! This is how I learned coding!
Book can be a great resource for coding, but for me I don't prefer books when starting, but when you know some part of coding, then you can drive into books. Because you can think in your head that time!
That is a very good book. Actually I cut it short, because I think many people don't have time to read all the stuff.
Like I could've easily include - github.com/ryanmcdermott/clean-cod...
This one! But I didn't!
Seriously good stuff. One of the most influential read in my entire career life.
Yes! Clean code is an awesome book!
But I think for majority they just watch tutorial. I always code with the tutorials, but there are many people who didn't even try to do code while watching tutorial.
They just know what the instructor teach, they don't even change the values and check other cases.
Also some people ended in a tutorial loop, they keep watching those, but can't build a single thing!
That's why I added this one!
Very insightful. Great article
Thanks man!
Yaah!!!
