Stop treating learning to code like studying for a test, youโre not going to be quizzed
Lean on resources to find the solution as learning where to look is more important than having the answer memorized

Everyone in software development Googles shit.

The only difference is that experienced developers have a better idea of what to search for in order to find the answers quickly.
Njoku Samson Ebere@eberetwitI feel this...
The fact that you can tap into other peopleโs code via a URL to build a totally new app makes it so awesome ๐

Marc Backes โก๏ธ@_marcbaEspecially when youโre starting out as a developer, do more than your client/employer expects from you. Over-deliver! Even if youโre underpaid.

Bad Habits you should quit as a programmer.
- Refusing to ask for help
