Whats app everybody!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I was a little too excited, What's up everybody. How's everyone doing? I am fine too. OMG, thanks for asking ๐Ÿ’•โค

So, If you clicked on this blog I'm sure you also want to be an awesome developer and improve yourself just like every developer wants to be including me. I know when we start our wanna-be "A Software Developer" journey how hard we try to learn things, create projects, looking for freelance work, and preparing for interviews to get a job as a Developer.

You land a job by putting the hours and hard work. You are extremely happy and proud of yourself for achieving your goal of becoming a Software Developer. But till this time you had only worked from your home sitting in your bedroom not knowing what Pair Programming is, How to rebase your branch, What is a Pull Request, What is Daily Standup, What is Story Grooming, What is a Jira Board, I have to write documentation of code? and Why the hell is everyone writing unit tests for their code etc. OH GOD, I couldn't breathe writing the previous sentence.

So, the gist here is that you became a Software Developer but now you need to improve yourself as a Software Developer. And this starts with finding a mentor, who will guide you on the dark path of becoming a Software Developer with his Torch of experience. But the sad reality is that not every developer finds an experienced mentor at his/her workplace.

But Don't Worry, I saw this tweet thread from Sarah Dayan in which she shares 10 takes from his software development journey after working in the industry for 10 years (Seriously 10 years ๐Ÿคฏ, Btw Sarah once again fan of your website). So I liked the thread very much and thought why not create a post sharing those 10 points of her with all the dev community so we can also apply these things into our development journey.

So, Let's jump straight into Sarah 10 points from her 10 years journey in the software industry.

1. Quality of experience

2. Feedback and mentoring

3. Make educated choices

4. Don't follow the hype

5. Basics are important

6. Burnout is real

7. Communication is key

8. Diversity is crucial

9. Quantity is as important as quality

10. Connections and relationships.

Well, this was a fun blog. I learned a lot from this thread, and I hope you found this interesting too. Thank you so much, Sarah, for sharing your experience with the community ๐Ÿ’•โค.

Well, enough of chatting with you guys, I am going to write unit tests for my even-odd program (Below is the code) ;)
