Great tips! I've shared a ton of ideas in Volume 1 of my Dev Concepts collection : Learn to type FAST (80+ WPMs) Master your Operating System: its shortcuts, how to manage processes, how to navigate the file systems, etc Learn IDE shortcuts (create/rename files, extract methods, classes, functions, implement/override/refactor methods, etc) Automate code formatting, and anything else that wastes time and brain cycles Write tests Use the Terminal and master aliases to automate repetitive tasks and type less Use mind mapping, diagrammatic reasoning & problem structuring techniques to analyze problems & tasks Create mental models to better understand what you're doing Practice practice practice! Contribute to open source to learn from great developers and improve Learn to search efficiently Use design thinking, 6 thinking hats and similar techniques to increase your creativity Structure your work and tasks (create yourself a system to be super organized & efficient); Read about GTD Estimate tasks using relative weights to better compare them Prioritize work regularly (focus on urgent & important) Plan your days ahead Build solid habits Become a morning person & focus on the most important task as soon as you can (highlight for the day -- miracle morning & Make time techniques) Manage your time. Learn about techniques like Pomodoro, use a time timer to visualize time Work in a structured manner Focus (for real!) Focus on outcomes rather than on details Take advantage of downtime to improve (learn new things, contribute to open source, etc) Reflect on work regularly (identify your weaknesses) Broaden your horizons and learn about architecture, software design, back-end, front-end, infrastructure, etc Master all the general concerns (e.g., error handling, code quality, logging, performance, i18n, l10n, encoding, caching, how to fix bugs, source control management, security, etc) Find your Ikigai and stay motivated Have fun And there's a ton more in there.
