One crucial lesson I learned while diving into programming:
Use various learning resources. Everyone explains things a little different.
You can understand stuff much easier. -
When I'm reviewing code that I'm soon to be working on, I like to add comments to document things that aren't self-documenting.
When I encounter something I have no fucking idea about, I usually add:
// NFI
It's my "safe for work" way to indicate that I literally have no fucking idea what they were attempting.
So I'm curious, does anyone have their own comment "codes" that are safe for commits, but translate into something more awesome?4 -
I was never a big fan of Github to be used within a company. So about 3 years ago where I used to work I implemented all the tools from Atlassian. Like litteraly all of them. And first I was stunned of the possibilities I had with Jira, Confluence, Bamboo and Bitbucket! But while self-hosting all thoose services you always felt, that Atlassian just bought all thoose companies and "threw them together"
BUT with newest features of Gitlab, I think they outperformed everyone! I absolutely love what they offer, even as a free service. They integrate all features in one product where you would otherwise relay on different products.

Things nobody told you when starting to learn a new programming language:
Congratulations! You became a collector. From now on you will collect websites, books and a ton of related software.4 -
I got a lot of crazy ideas and I am starting a lot of different projects. But I always start at developing the complete backend. Which is my strength. So in my opinion the product is ready to use, technically it works. Wouldn't there be the front-end .. It always ends in a total disaster when i try to create one that is beautiful. I just want to write freaking clean HTML5 code with any nasty CSS Framework. Any advise how i can overcome my anger?4

Not sure if reading tech blogs in bed while falling half asleep is a sign of brilliance or insanity.2
