Afraid to ask questions?
The best devs aren’t the ones who know it all—they’re the ones who know how to ask and learn. Stay curious and keep asking!

Burnout is real, especially when learning to code. Take breaks, set boundaries, and remember: progress > perfection. You’re doing great! #MentalHealth

Code reviews are for growth, not judgment.
Keep the personal BS out of it.
Stay polite and comment code, not the person.
Helps everyone in the end.

"Stuck on a problem?
Sucks. Here's what I do - I take a break, go for a quick walk, talk it out, or even explain the problem to a rubber duck (seriously, it works!).
Clarity often strikes when you least expect it. #Debugging #CodingTips"

Do you know what made me most useful first few months as junior dev?
Not my coding skills for sure 😃
It was the ability to put together pieces of information and understand the big picture quickly.

❌ Getting into a senior dev mindset does not mean you are confident to know everything.
✅ It means I am confident in my ability to find solutions. And I realize I picked up some wisdom along the journey.
The more I know, the more I realize where are the gaps.

Do You know what makes a good software engineering manager?
I didn't - but John Crickett told me.
We had a great conversation on the Software Engineering Tales Podcast, and we covered a lot - his career journey, how he got laid off and started coding challenges afterward.
