Become the better coder by spending just 3 minutes daily

You can always learn new technologies, implement features, and even though you may feel you’re an accomplished coder, certain things still bug you, may be there are PRs in review not getting through smoothly or a certain algorithm that you can’t wrap your head around or there’s a feeling of repetition at work and you don’t love your tech stack as much. It’s normal to have these issues. I’ll teach you how to become better and do something about all your pain points, and along the way improve your lifestyle as a coder so you never doubt yourself for a moment and eventually launch a new version of yourself.

This blog is about covering the less explored areas which you can tap in to become a better coder, topics of this will revolve around learning, communication, delegation, refactoring, testing, productivity, self-confidence and many more diverse areas that belong to your daily routine as a coder, every post will contain an activity so you can start applying things and get better every single day with just about 3 minutes of learning.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned professional or a beginner, there’s just about enough for everyone to improve themselves and become better.

Now about me, I’m Usman Chaudhry, a demon-ridden implementer aka crazy coder who loves to turn ideas into reality by translating imagination into code. I’m a senior software architect with over 10 years of experience programming in various tech stacks, I’ve held positions ranging from Developer to CTO, and pretty much everything in between. Most of my work still revolves around coding.
