🚀 The fastest growth I’ve had as a developer didn’t come from mastering Go—it came from stepping outside my comfort zone. Here’s a short version of my story: “How Working on Things I Knew Nothing About Helped Me Grow Faster” 👇

Here’s a short version of my story:
“How Working on Things I Knew Nothing About Helped Me Grow Faster”
👇

DDD isn’t an architecture. It’s a mindset. • Business logic becomes clear • Code reads like user stories • Bugs get squashed fast • Features map to reality It’s the difference between organizing code vs. understanding the business. #cleancode


If you’re still scattering business logic across 15 files… Read this. DDD means: • Business in one place • Fewer bugs • Clearer features • Faster onboarding It changed how I code and think. #ddd


MVC shows you where to put code. DDD shows you what it should say. • One place for business logic • Domain-first thinking • Less glue code, more clarity I’d trade 5 years of patterns for 1 year of DDD. #domainmodeling


The truth? Rust is brilliant. But Go is a cheat code. • Idiomatic Go in 2 weeks • Real-world output day one • No fighting with the compiler Want velocity? Go wins. Rust’s complexity isn’t worth it for most teams. #programming


Most devs learn MVC first. Big mistake. You learn structure before meaning. DDD flips it: • You code business, not boxes • Features shrink from days to hours • Logic finally has a home Learn the language before the grammar. #softwaredesign


You’re not building an OS. You’re building CRUD APIs. Stop over-engineering: • Go gets new hires productive in days • Rust drops team velocity by 50% • Most apps don’t need a borrow checker Choose speed over struggle. #devlife


The most brilliant engineers I know don’t always pick the “best” tech. They choose what yields the best results quickly. • Go reads like English • Devs ship in weeks • Hiring is easy • Teams move fast Rust? It slows you down for marginal gains. #softwareengineering


Choosing Rust for CRUD services is like buying a jet to drive to work. Sure, it’s fast. But you’ll burn time, money, and team morale just trying to park it. Go is simpler, faster, and way more practical. You can use the right tool for the real-world job. #backend


Sandbox mistakes don’t kill you. They make you a real dev. • Ask dumb questions • Write ugly code • Break your app Then rebuild it stronger. My journey through this cycle is in the newsletter today. #LearnToCode thegolangblueprint.substack.com


The most humbling dev moment? Passing all tests, then watching users get stuck. • Tests ≠ UX • Clever ≠ Clear • Fancy ≠ Functional These lessons hurt—but they stick. The rest’s in this week’s newsletter. #SoftwareDev thegolangblueprint.substack.com


You won't get good by watching tutorials. I tried that. Real growth came from building messy, chaotic projects and fixing what broke. The sandbox is where you level up. Full article drops in the newsletter. #CodingTips thegolangblueprint.substack.com
