Just getting started in tech? This guide covers everything from asking smarter questions to surviving imposter syndrome. Learn how to grow fast, stay sane, and become the dev your future self will thank.
Knowing how to ask for help is a coding superpower. This post breaks down the best ways developers can ask smarter questions, avoid dead ends, and turn confusion into collaboration.
A production bug shows up and panic sets in. But fixing it fast doesn’t mean jumping into code instantly. Slow down. Breathe. Read the report. Understand the issue. You’ll fix it faster when you’re not guessing under pressure.
If you don’t know the problem, you’re just guessing at solutions. Before jumping into code, ask: What are we solving? Why is it a problem? Because no one wants to waste hours fixing the wrong thing perfectly.
The best devs don’t always have the answers, they have the attitude. “I don’t know, but I’ll figure it out” will take you further than faking confidence ever will. This post is a reminder that mindset matters more than mastery.
