Write Readable Code, Not Clever Code
Simple > Smart. Your future self will thank you. -
Learn One Tool Really Deep

Code is like a garden — if you don’t trim, weeds grow fast. -
Don’t Memorize. Learn How to Google Efficiently.

Don’t Overthink Tech Stacks
What matters most is: “Can you build and solve the problem?” Not which tool you picked. -
Teach What You Learn
Writing blog posts, tweeting code, or making tutorials will clarify your own knowledge faster than anything else.
