A telltale Sign of An Inexperienced Programmer

RMAG news

You don’t want others seeing or critiquing your code.

If you did, they would probably be suggesting that you do things differently. Or speak on how inefficient or unreadable it is.

And you don’t want to touch it again, because you got it working. You wrestled with it for too long. You are sick of it. And we just don’t like the criticism as new developers.

Strangely, we want them to praise our super complex and unmaintainable code.

But thankfully, there are code reviews, and there are gate set up. So, the senior devs will have to approve or reject your pull requests.

This is a learning process.

The point here is to accept that you are a junior dev, and write junior level code. And the only way to really get better at it, is to have people critic your code.

And learning what is wrong with it and making adjustments in how you code along the way.

So, write your code, take the criticism and advice of others and let it fuel you into becoming a better programmer.

Rooting for you,
