How To Think Like A Developer - Fix This Or Keep Struggling…

If you're serious about becoming a developer, then you need to start thinking like one. As a programmer, the way in which you approach is very important and it's often the thing that holds so many people from getting to that next level. In this video, I'll be sharing the key to thinking like a programmer as I break down the most common mistakes that are made during coding and exactly how you can fix them so you can advance and become a better developer.

As a retired developer I was "lucky" that I had a "boss" (Project leader) who insisted that I draw up a "design document" before I start coding every project.
I ended up working for him (at a fortune-500 company) for my first four years in the business.

Exactly the video I needed. Thanks for providing so much value Tim!

Thank you Tim for this incredible video on how do programmers should think 🤔?
I noted down all of three points -
1.Solve problem generally not individually.

2.Breaking down a big problem into smaller ones to get the solution.

3.Plan before jumping to code.

I will definitely apply all of these points into my projects.
Thanks again 😊.

So fortunate we are to have your content/knowledge for free. ✌

[carlosrobertoacosta]

Thanks! This video is very useful, especially when you're just starting with coding

As a computer sciences teacher i can say you are pointing out what students must dedicate their efforts to !! 👍

As a beginner, I struggled doing my first somewhat big personal project, a quiz web app, because I immediately started coding. I then realized that it was a mistake, so on my second project, a pokemon rpg using PokeAPI, I started pseudocoding on a txt file first. Now I really get what you said why the step of writing code should be the easiest part.

Always guiding us to get better, thank you.

Thanks for this great advice. I found it helpful

The problem i keep facing as a beginner, is not knowing what TOOLS i should use to solve a specific problem in the most efficient way.

Maybe your channel could be called coding mentor. Thanks for the top-tier guidance.

think about inputs, decompose and plan

How does a programmer think? 😅
I noticed a lot of people who are good at programming started at a very young age.
It takes a long time before one is able to code something on their own. And the good thing now is that we have AI 🎉
I'm coding a front end app with the knowledge I have in HTML CSS and JavaScript. It's fun !!!

PS: I think learning a bit of computer science first can help with learning to program. Ever since I became a Linux user and after doing my own PC builds and installing some OSes + learning how to use an IDE I feel more confident about learning how to program. I read books on networking, servers and anything related to computers in general.
I also started using git on a daily basis. Lab, lab, lab 🎉

ur contents are awesome. keep it up! ;)

My strugle is coming up with problems/ideas!

[maurolimaok]

You listed the 4 languages I intend to learn. I think I'm on the right path.
Despite that, C is on my plans too, just because I think it will complete my theoretical background more deeply.
As I need a ROADMAP to follow (by myself I failed several times) I'm engaging The Odin Project.
I really like this channel.
Thanks, a lot. At 56yo, in Brazil, any help is more than welcome.
Suggestion: a section/site with opportunities, spots on junior and remote jobs for people like me, in Brazil.
Again: THANKS... A LOT!

Coding is problem solving
Solve generally
Breakdown the problem
Plan before you code

[bernardwodoame]

I pick a feature for the day and just work on it. If I can't figure something I leave and come back later with fresh ideas after relaxing.

[BrunoGallant]

Very good advise, thanks for this. I'm better and worse than I thought.... ;)
