Just used ngrok today to host some codes publicly

Would suggest checking it out when looking for a quick solution to convert your local url into a public one!

A good tip to increase productivity is to keep deadlines

Psychology says you are more likely to do the task which has to be completed within a certain time

So keeping deadlines for yourself and sticking to then can be a good way to increase efficiency ✨

A good litmus test to know if something is a good prompt is to ask AI if it's a good prompt

If not, tell it to make the prompt better and more useful 🚀

Never stop having a learner's mindset, growing at every opportunity is so important to develop your skills

When faced with new challenges, you should be happy at the fact that you can learn something new!

What's the most important skill of being a developer?

-Knowing a lot of languages ❌

-Knowing lots of frameworks ❌

-Having patience, a lot of it. When faced with errors, it you can remain calm and slowly analyze and solve the problem you are invaluable ✅

Been struggling lately to manage my time

What is your best time management tip?

One thing I have learnt is that doing git commit frequently, even if it's a small change it's so important

In case a future change breaks your codes, you can always revert to the earlier commit

Bonus: It also increases your github contributions much more haha

What is one part of software development which u dislike?

Mine is deadlines, having a customer wanting a product done by a certain time really makes me rush it and not enjoy the process

With time I have realized that in the world of technology anything is possible.

Take on projects even if you have never done it, stepping out of your comfort zone is so important

What's the worst which will happen? You might not be able to make the product but you'll learn a lot 🔑

The more I have used AI, the more I have realized it will take a lot of time for it to replace humans as a complete programmer

I'm curious, do most software developers enjoy the planning and the designing aspect or are just in for the coding ?

Tried out infobip today for sending out Whatsapp messages, got to say it's much simpler than using Twilio which is the norm

Smart 👏

Also.. there is no algorithm.. so likes or replies don't help push the content forward.

Reposts are the only way for content to reach a wider audience.

So please, if you see something good, repost it.

I'm going to do that a lot now going forward.

I found a brilliant way to bookmark posts! 🤯

Just repost. You help the content creator, you share a valuable post/comment, you improve the platform, you can easily find it later.

Win, win, win, win
