The software development practitioner attitude

zooboole

Published By zooboole

Every good developer out there, any person out there who surprises you because they work in a dream company, at some point, demonstrated many signs of determination, if not to say they have demonstrated their skills to some scale. I will not cease to say that the person who would like to give you their money or opportunity would always make sure you have the required intellectual caliber or skillset.

People usually wonder how I can usually foresee how a project can be structured after hearing just a little about the idea. Well, it's practice. I have surely done such a thing before or something similar to it.

So, I will keep this simple and straight forward. I don't care about my page bounce rate. I want you to read this as quickly as possible and gain time for your day. Or maybe you can go ahead later to read this or that.

There is no professor or doctor out there who merited such a title without undergoing some years of deliberate practice and studies of their field.

It bothers me a lot when I see new learners wasting so much time looking for easy frameworks and technologies, new trends, source codes to download, and any other things that can make it easy for them to write "some software", sell it, and become a millionaire. Always ask yourself if everyone was into the same thing you are doing, would anyone ever find what you are looking for? Because nobody would have not created anything.

All the people you follow as your models or mentors have suffered too practicing hard to become the mentors you love.

Consistency creates identity

When you are set to learn a new skill, it's only deliberate and consistent practice that can help you become an actual artist. Listening to motivational talks 24h/7 and going to conferences would not develop your ability until you sit down and do it on your own. You must go through the process of mistakes and discoveries. Anyone can become an expert on anything they wish. Just study that thing to the extreme. And as you continue to dirty your hand in the craft, you create an identity of an expert in the field that follows you everywhere you go.

Hard work is what sets people different from the crowd. Follow the crowd and you will be a piece of it. Go beyond it, and you will be exceptional.

Since we are in the era of easy gain mindset, let me make things clear for that category of people. I do understand that we are not all born to suffer before we become successful. But, life in its default algorithm requires a minimum effort in everything. In physics, it's called energy. We call it effort, you know?
So, what you might think was easily given to you has been someone else's effort somewhere.

My fellow developers and learners, drop every dream for now, and get to work. Write the code every day, create projects even if you will throw them away after. Create projects even if they will not be lucrative now. Give time to the system, it will come back to you just like a revelation.
