Tweets That Boost Productivity - Part 1

I am starting a series to share tweets that are encouraging to developers in order to boast their productivity somehow. I am not sure how often I will be doing this, but this is part 1. I am doing it because I notice a lot of people like it when I wrote How Many Tutorials Before I become a Pro? - Newbie Asks.

My major targets are the newbies. I hope you enjoy it.

Remember, coding is thinking not typing. 💻

Take some time to plan your solutions. 📝

As a carpenter would say, "plan twice, cut once". 💜🤓

Are you looking to get some clients or some coding practice?

Find small businesses that have ugly websites, and create better ones. Email them and offer them your work for money.

Do they accept? You practiced and you made money. If not, at least you exercised.

Why you should write/blog about what you are learning even as a newbie???

“Senior” developers still google very basic things like HTML syntax.

You article can help the next newbie 🔥🔥🔥

When I was building MyGrade I had no phone, my laptop lasts for 10min and was slow. When ever I implement a feature or make changes I go to my friend's house to test it on his phone because my PC couldn't load the emulator. I was basically a mobile developer without a 'mobile' 🤡 twitter.com/FashDami/statu…

I agree with this. ✌🏾

If you pick a project, before you will complete it, you will have done a number of research outside a particular tutorial series.

Build whatever you want!

Build:

*Sport team site
*Ice cream store
*Lawn care service
*Fake YouTubers site
*Portfolio site

You aren't going to cure cancer here, you need practice so build!

Following tutorials is not enough to be a great developer. You get much more value by taking what you learn and customizing it, adding to it, making it better, making it your own.

If you can learn how interact with an API to build these and make them look good you are employable as a developer.

Dear developer,

If you don't pass an interview, it doesn't mean that you're bad, you're just not the right person, maybe they're looking for someone with different characteristics

Don't worry, there will be other opportunities, even better ones

You will make it!

Being a good developer is a marathon, not a sprint. You won't become an amazing coder over night.

What you can do, is being persistent. Put in the hours every day for a period of time, and the skills will come. Anyone can get there. Don't rush it.

There are many things you'll only learn once you get a job.

There's NO WAY you'll learn it all before finding a job!

So stop saying "I don't know enough to start applying!" If you can make websites, start applying!

You will never become a developer if you wait.

I didn’t write my first HTML until I was 27.

There’s no shame in starting late!

It’s unreasonable to expect everyone to know what their calling is when they’re only 18.

When you’re older, you have a much better idea of what kind of work fits your skills and personality.

It's ok not to know everything, no one does. What is important is your Googling skills.

Coding 30 min per day all the week is better than coding 3 hours in one day once a week. Eating 3 times per day all the week is better than eating 21 times in one day once a week. Same with learning, drawing, running, singing, etc.

Dear developer,

Nothing is ever 100% perfect. Don’t put pressure on yourself.

If your favorite apps and APIs were perfect, there wouldn’t be need for app updates and versioning wouldn’t be a thing because it would have been perfect from day one.

Code. Learn. Code again 💕

Conclusion

I hope you enjoyed the tweets and you are encouraged to do more. I may continue and be more consistent. Maybe weekly but with fewer tweets.

If you have questions, comments or suggestions, please drop them in the comment section.

You can also follow and message me on social media platforms.
