  2. Contribute to open- source projects • Contributing to open source is probably something every developer has thought about. You can engage and help the community , Practice programming in real environments , and add it to your portfolio. A lot of OSS projects are welcoming new users that can add to their repositories.

  3. Do more pair programming • Pair programming is one of the best ways to share knowledge between programmers . You can learn from more experienced developers , or you could help out more junior developers . Either way, it’s a good thing and helps you to stay focused.

  4. Focus on problem- solving • One thing that makes a good developer is the ability to focus on solutions instead of problems . Always try to find ways to deal with challenges.

  5. Practice regularly • You don’t have to be some sort of natural talent to work as a programmer almost everything can be learned and the best way is to program . So write code regularly , Daily and you will become better automatically.

  6. Start a personal project • Many people believe a “real programmer” does nothing but code and has at least 3 personal projects at a time. That’s of course , not true but a personal project can be a good thing to explore new technologies, try out new things , build and sell a product or just to have some fun , try it.

  7. Find great tools • A Craftsman is only as good as his tools . You don’t need much to code your laptop and a basic text editor are sufficient but there are great tools out their that help you like IDEs , CLIs line interfaces , note keeping tools , pomodoro timers , image hosting and much more .

  8. Take some time off • Coding is a fulfilling thing for me . If im in the flow hours are flying by like there is no tomorrow . Sometimes I code during work hours , continue in my free time and do it even on weekends . But this can quickly ead to burnout or stress so its really healthy to take a few hours or days completely off of programming to recharge the batteries

  9. Read more Books • The internet brought us many new opportunities to learn – blogs , podcast video courses . But for me there is nothing better than a good , old , paperback book. So if you want to try something old that worked for generations – read a book
