Today I’m going to share about my thoughts on beginner vs expert programmer. Everyone start from zero, everyone do mistakes before doing awesome stuff. But those who find the success who are passionate, consistent and break their comfort zone. Break you comfort zone and start learning.

Beginners:

Just make the code works

Expert:

Make sure that code is clean, readable & optimized

Note:

Clean and readable code are really easy to understand and easy to change in future. Also optimized code gives the best performance.

Beginners:

Watch crush courses and start coding on new language.

Expert:

Read documentation first.

Note:

Reading documentation actually helps a lot to understand about specific programming language/library. Before jumping any YouTube crash courses, I think it’s better to just read the documentation once. Some documentations are really bad, ignore that. But some are really good, they made it easy for us to understand. The expert programmers I saw until now they all told me to read about the documentation first.
