Nobody talks about how junior developers are expected to: - know the entire stack on day one - Navigate a 5-year-old codebase with zero documentation - ask questions, but "not too many" - ship features but "don't break anything" Then get told "you're not learning fast…

Stop learning new frameworks. Your future boss doesn't care if you know 10 frameworks. They care if you can solve one hard problem. Frameworks are temporary. An engineering mindset is permanent. I've mentored hundreads of students and I alway ask them to focus on these…

Unpopular opinion: obsessing over clean code is just procrastination with extra steps Your startup doesn't need perfect architecture; it needs to not die Ship the ugly version, refactor when you have revenue

What developers actually do: 5% writing original code 10% debugging code 20% meetings 15% Understanding needs 50% Stack Overflow + prayer This is the industry secret no one talks about. What percentage are we missing?
