5 Habits of a Good Programmer

In this article, we'll discuss 5 habits of Pro Software Developers of how they manage their time and what do they think about before writing the code.


In the Tech World, every developer competes with each other, and being the best in the organization is always a preferred choice for everyone.

To achieve that position of being the best in the organization, there are several ways to achieve it, which are coming in recent times Blog Post.

But to achieve that best in the organization you have to develop some habits that are always found in a quality developer, which I am going to tell you about. The habits of a Good Programmer which I recently found in the Good Programmers by observing many of them over the Internet.

1. Maintaining a Journal

As a Programmer, you must be learning some good skills through multiple sources, and let me tell you If The Internet has given us the power to Learn almost anything over the Internet it also gave us the Burden to keep track of the course we were learning from.

If there is a problem there is a solution also maintaining a Journal will keep a track of multiple things like it will help you in keeping a track of how many topics you have learned and how many to go If you are learning something

It will also help you to keep track of which modules have been developed and which are the next to develop It will keep your work in a very lean and precise way If you are Developing any Project.

2. Having a Roadmap

Having a Roadmap is very necessary for a Learning Developer as it provides him with a Learning curve helping him to which topics he has already learned or which topic is the next.

Being a developer doesn't mean that you shall learn whatever you see over the Internet but having a good path to learn the skill in a good way is always the best.

It is almost similar to Maintaining a Journal but with a difference In Maintaining Journal you are specifying that this is done or this is to be done next but in Having a Roadmap you are declaring that these are the things which shall be done to achieve proficiency in this skill.

3. Planning Before Writing Code

As a Good Programmer, you are asked to write the code but that doesn't mean that you have to write code every time without even thinking.

It is a very important part of coding, whenever you get a Billion Dollar Idea like Creating the next Facebook or next Google, you first have to visualize in your brain that this is what you want as an actual Product.

First visualizing it in your mind will save you a lot of time when you will be coding. Thus, making you more productive than before.

4. Writing Beautifully Structured Code

Writing beautifully structured code distinguishes the less experienced developers from more experienced Developers as the Company Ignores this skill commonly but when it comes to managing a larger codebase it comes in handy to write beautiful structured Code as It clearly states to the Developer which line of code is written for what purpose.

5. Being Updated on the Latest Developments

Being the Development field evolving so rapidly that no technology remains the same for continuous days and it affects the result and the study of a Developer.

So it is always preferred that a Developer always be updated about the latest updates and releases. As Good Developers always stay updated no matter how they get updated Personally I get updates through various Blog Posts and Newsletters and it's always recommended for every Developer.

Conclusion

To bring a Good Developer you must first develop some habits that a Good Developer has which in conclusion are listed below :

  1. Maintaining a Journal
  2. Having a Roadmap
  3. Planning before writing code
  4. Writing beautifully Structured code
  5. Being Updated on the latest Development
