10 Commandments for Programmers

#javascript #programming #productivity #opensource

Do your best to follow these 10 commandments 👇🏽

Make Googling a habit or thou shalt make very little progress in programming.
If it works, do not touch it unless you know what you are doing.
JavaScript might be well spoken of but it is not your friend.
Never debug in production.
Argue not about programming languages on Twitter.
Do not claim you know CSS. It is a lie, we all know.
Eat in the morning before you start programming. Otherwise you may not eat again.
No matter how sure you are, always clear your browser cache and try again.
It is easier to stay up till 6:00 AM than to wake up at 6:00 AM. Be discipline with your sleep cycle.
Always hide your wifi network SSID. There are others who are more dangerous than you think.

Very true about googling. I mostly look for stackoverflow through google.
Maybe forking and debugging is a bit better.
Javascript is my friend. I use it almost 80% of the time. Next.js, express.js, and all those good stuff.
Also a very true and useful fact. Debugging in production is an absolute no-no.
Lucky I don't use twitter.
It's mostly python we all almost know. I guess you can say you're good at CSS.
What do you mean you won't eat again?
I got nothing to say ;)
I tend to wake up really early and go to bed early. I function better on a fresh brain than a tired one.
Amazing advice right there.
