Explore the logic behind coding. Understand the principles that drive programming without boundaries.
A slow program with clean code is easier to fix. A fast program with messy code is harder to trust. First, make it clear. Then, make it fast. #CodeWithWhy #ProgrammingPrinciples
Who needs horror movies when you can: • git push --force to the wrong branch • deploy to prod instead of staging • forget a return in your recursive function Jump scares, but make it developer edition. #CodeWithWhy #DevLife
Every time I write a test after the bug fix, I think: “This test would've saved me hours.” Yet the next time? I still skip writing the test first. Not because I forget -- but because the pain isn’t fresh anymore. Discipline > motivation. Testing is an investment. #CodeWithWhy…
Sometimes the best "refactor" is deleting code that no one uses, no one understands, and no one wants to touch. Dead code doesn't just sit there. It whispers. It misleads. It breaks things quietly. Delete with confidence. #CodeWithWhy #Refactoring
Code reviews = your first security checkpoint. Don’t miss these: 🔐 Hardcoded secrets 💉 SQL injection risks 🚫 Missing auth checks Catch them early → Save production later. #SecureCoding #DevSecOps #CodeReview #CodeWithWhy
I don’t have imposter syndrome. I just think everyone else is wrong about me being good at this. That’s totally different. #CodeWithWhy #DevFeels
The moment you start naming things based on intent instead of implementation, your code clarity jumps. Not processData() → generateUserReport() Not x → retryCount Naming isn't pedantic. It's how you talk to future you. #CodeWithWhy #CleanCode
That moment when you realize your “temporary” solution is now powering 60% of the product. No tests. No docs. No clue how it works. But it’s in prod. So we smile. #CodeWithWhy
"Why is this function 200 lines long?" Because I was in the zone. Because I didn’t want to break the flow. Because I fear commitment… to breaking things into smaller functions. #CodeWithWhy #RealTalkCoding
Spent 30 minutes fixing a bug. Then another 45 writing the perfect commit message. Because if the code doesn't explain the genius, the message will. fix: ✨ dark sorcery to make it work #CodeWithWhy #CommitLikeAPro
Code reviews are wild. One day you're the reviewer saying “Can we rename this variable?” Next day you're the one getting 17 comments on a 4-line PR. Circle of (dev) life. #CodeWithWhy #CodeReviewReality
Closures = function + backpack. 🎒 Your inner function remembers its parent’s variables — even when the parent’s gone. Powerful, sneaky, sometimes buggy. 🧵 Let’s break closures down: #JavaScript #Closures #CodeWithWhy
People say “don’t reinvent the wheel.” But half the time the wheel is a 200MB NPM package with 45 open issues and a maintainer who ghosted in 2022. So yeah. I might just reinvent it. #CodeWithWhy #DevRant
Sometimes I delete a line of code and everything starts working. And I don’t question it. I just whisper: "You were the problem." …and move on. #CodeWithWhy #DebuggingDiaries
Why do I always write TODOs like I’m handing off the code to Future Me? Bro, it’s just me. And I’m still not gonna do it. // TODO: fix this // TODO: optimize // TODO: lol good luck #CodeWithWhy #CleanCode(ish)
Been coding for 2 hours. Built nothing. But now I have the perfect folder structure and naming convention. That counts as progress. Right? #CodeWithWhy #DevFlow
You ever fix a bug and just sit there thinking: “I have no idea why that worked.” And then you push it to prod anyway. Because sometimes you gotta respect the dark magic. #CodeWithWhy #BugFixVibes
Typed a print statement to debug. It worked. Did I remove it? No. I just commented it out like a coward. Now it's a part of the ecosystem. A sacred piece of history. Touch it and the whole thing might break. #CodeWithWhy #DeveloperLife
Tired of cryptic API errors? Your error response should include: ✔️ HTTP status code ✔️ "code" (machine-readable) ✔️ "message" (human-readable) Stop the guessing game. 🧵👇 #ErrorHandling #APIUX #CodeWithWhy
Ever renamed a variable 5 times and still hated it? data, result, finalResult, cleanedData, summary… Nothing feels right. You stare at the code like it's a bad tattoo. Sometimes naming is the hardest part of programming. No, it's not just you. #CodeWithWhy #DevThoughts
