Lessons from coding mistakes improve programming skills

A small thing that improved my coding skills: Reading my own code the next day. Sometimes when I revisit code I wrote yesterday, I notice: • Simpler ways to write the logic • Unnecessary lines of code • Better variable names It reminds me that writing code once is not enough — refining it is part of becoming a better developer. Clean code is not written in one go. It evolves. #Programming #CleanCode #SoftwareEngineering #LearningInPublic

WHY YOU NEED TO PRACTICE CODING EVERYDAY AS A NEW DEVELOPER: It's very important for a new developer to code every day. It helps you get better at solving problems, keeps you up to date on new technologies, and builds your muscle memory for syntax and logic. Daily practice also makes you more confident, which lets you take on bigger projects and stand out in a crowded field. If you keep going, you'll see steady growth! #100DaysOfCode, #CodingPractice, #DeveloperJourney, #LearnToCode, #DailyCoding, #TechSkills, #CodeNewbie, and #SoftwareDevelopment.

Master the Fundamentals First. Strong fundamentals make advanced topics easier to understand. Investing time in core coding concepts builds a solid base for long-term growth and problem-solving.

Nobody tells you this when you start coding: - The language doesn't matter. - The framework doesn't matter. - The IDE doesn't matter. - Tutorials teach you nothing Shipping/Production is something that really matters.

I put together a quick deck summarizing and comparing two of the most common tools used for coding right now: VS Code and Cursor. Whether you love to code or are just thinking about starting, I hope you find this useful! I believe that now, more than ever, coding shouldn't be scary. These are the tools I've been using daily for a long time, and I wanted to share my perspective on how they stack up.

Coding isn’t just about typing fast; it's about cultivating a clear mindset and problem-solving skills. Every line of code is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and grow. Embrace the journey of understanding logic and structure – because at the end of the day, coding is a thinking exercise that can transform the way you approach challenges!

How I’m trying to improve my problem-solving in coding. When I first started solving coding problems, I would immediately jump into writing code. If it didn’t work, I’d debug randomly. Recently, I’ve been forcing myself to slow down. Here’s what I’m trying instead: • Read the constraints carefully; • Solve small examples manually; • Identify possible patterns before coding; • Think about time complexity upfront. I’m still learning, but shifting from “typing fast” to “thinking clearly” has already made a noticeable difference. Trying to build structured problem-solving instead of rushing into syntax. #BTech #Programming #ProblemSolving

Sometimes developers don’t fail… the terminal just tests our patience 😅 Instead of getting frustrated when errors appear in the terminal, I found a fun VS Code extension that turns those painful moments into something hilarious. Every time you press Enter after a command, it gives a funny reaction sound — and suddenly debugging becomes a little less stressful. Now instead of hearing silence after an error… I hear “Faahhhhhhh!” 🤣 Small tools like this can make a big difference in the developer experience. Coding should be productive — but it can also be fun. Want to know the extension name? Comment “Extension” and I’ll share it 👇 #DeveloperLife #VSCode #ProgrammingLife #CodingFun #WebDevelopment #SoftwareDevelopment #ProgrammerHumor #Developers #TechLife #Coding #Debugging #DeveloperTools #ProgrammerLife #LearningToCode

Great developers aren’t the ones who never get stuck. They’re the ones who know 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞. In coding, errors are not interruptions. They’re 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬. A failed test case teaches 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜. A runtime error teaches 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠. A rejected solution teaches 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. At Coding Blocks, we don’t train students to avoid problems. We train them to 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧, question assumptions, and turn confusion into clarity. Because every bug fixed adds 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. Every challenge solved adds 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥. That’s how strong engineers are built. 🚀 #Coding #Developers #CodingBlocks #ProblemSolving #Learning #Code #ProgrammingJourney #CodingJourney

The biggest mistake I made as a beginner? Watching endless tutorials and writing very few lines of code. I didn't build a single working project. Understanding comes from doing, not watching. Image Credit: Scrimba #tutorialhell #coding #projects
