How to be a good software developer?

Answer 1

The key to becoming a good software developer is practice. How to practice to be a good developer:

👨‍💻Find your own projects.
👨‍💻Look for Open Source projects you can help on.
👨‍💻Find competitive programming sites.
👨‍💻Practice until you make a mistake daily. Learn from that mistake.
👨‍💻Purposefully break your own code. Find a way to handle those errors.
👨‍💻Learn how to debug.
👨‍💻Don’t ask questions immediately. Instead, search resources for answers. Then test your findings. Modify their codes if needed to fit your needs.
👨‍💻...But always seek advice (once you have done your own research, and successfully modified your own code). Look for peers and senior developers to review your successfully modified code.

Answer 11

*NEVER static link glibc.
*don’t use vague or inconsistent naming in your code.
*do comment your code, you can’t remember what you had for dinner four days ago.
*use attribution comments for things you link/import (why is there? and where did it come from?).
*don’t litter repositories with your abandoned projects (if you publish code to github that doesn’t compile, I’ll happily provide a job recomendation... that you be hired to maintain 1980’s Cobol on a green screen System36).
*don’t hardcode runtime parameters in source code... also known as don’t hardcode “magic numbers”.
*do learn and implement config options that provide parameters via command line and/or config file... better yet, learn how to implement getting the config parameters via an authenticated SQL or LDAP call.
*always assume you’ll have to read and update your code someday... about 11 years in the future.
*don’t prematurely optimize.
*deliver code that works.
*and, NEVER static link glibc.

*most people believe that programmers must smarter than the dude writing assembly instructions for Ikea furniture... when writing code, try live up that expectation.
