It's no wonder why people struggle with learning. It's simple: The system works AGAINST you. You need to fight. I'm learning how to code: it's painful, but it's easy if you plan ahead. Here are 9 secrets on how to learn anything👇

What many sw engineers don't realize: The majority of jobs do not hire you to write the highest quality code or produce the cleanest architecture. They hire you to solve their business problems very efficiently. Sometimes this means high-quality code. Sometimes not at all.

It's #PortfolioReviewFriday! Submit your personal portfolio for an honest and actionable review. One of the best ways to get better is to receive constructive criticism. P.S. - I'm still reviewing previous submissions. Please be patient. Supported by @usepastel

If you could go back to the first time you were learning how to be a Web Developer, what would you tell yourself?

One of the first things I suggest for anyone that doesn't do it already as a #Dev is to work on understanding your day. When you work best, when you can tolerate interruptions, and when you need heads down time. Some knowledge of your calendar is *essential*.
Time blocking my day has been a game-changer for productivity. It's a lot harder to justify disruptive/shallow work or procrastination when I have it scheduled throughout the day.

What to focus on during a code review? Don't waste your time with automatable formalities like code style. Rather spend your review budget on those aspects which will be hard/expensive to change later on. The "Code Review Pyramid" provides some guidance on what to look for.
