It only makes sense that we would provide a list of things that better developers do during this season. That is a primary focus of this site and one that is easy to step into. None of these three tips are challenging to implement. Nevertheless, each one builds over time to become a juggernaut of improvement. These can make your career a successful one, no matter where you begin.
Constant Learning
It is no surprise that technology moves at a rapid pace. There are new things to learn every day. While that study flow of fresh content is impossible to keep up with, you will need to embrace learning. An attitude of constant learning as one of your core tasks is required to keep up and fall into the better developer category. Anyone can learn a skill and become productive. The better developer learns a new skill over and over again. They then take that new knowledge and apply it to solve new or more significant problems.
Continual Learning – A little Each Day
Embrace Challenges
The life of a developer has ups and downs. We all have days where everything falls into place works easily. However, we also all have those days (maybe more often than not) where we stumble over typos and similar simple mistakes. Those little things add up, and we may not feel as productive as were wanted to be. That means we all fall short at times but will also find challenges on an almost daily basis. That is part of the draw for the better developers. They are looking for the next challenge to face or problem to solve.
Interact With Their Co-Workers
No man is an island. That includes women as well. We can only advance so far on our own no matter what the field is. There is just too much education and experience we can lean on from others. While it is arguable whether one person can eventually achieve the same thing a team can accomplish, the speed difference is significant. Life is too short, and there is too much for us to know to ignore the benefit we get from others. The better developers interact with others regularly. They are open to new ways to solve a problem and learn from the experiences of others. There is no other way to put it. Your co-workers are valuable assets. Take advantage of this valuable resource.
