it is impossible to understand the problem fully without writing any code, unless it’s something simple or that you’ve done before

Completely disagree with the points of debugging and unit testing, it is 100% a personal preference. Most unit testing become irrelevant real fast. Debugging is an art - that is correct, but it can be done even without using a "Debugger" (this is the same as saying a developer that uses technology X is a bad developer, because he should use Y). Nice video overall, most of your points are correct, and I love that you mentioned the clean code book.

10 tips on how to better hide the fact that you're an inexperienced programmer

[makeavoy]

Clean Code is not really a great reccomend anymore. It tackles the task of decluttering a monolithic function by encouraging devs to break it into hundreds of micro functions with a single statement and maybe at most 3 operations each. There’s a fine balance. A 100 line function is fine if it’s all related code and isn’t repeated.

I think that reinventing the wheel is something that put your fundamentals on the next level, that's why we learn algorithms and data structures that are implemented in built-in functions, just to know what's the best choice at the moment, in terms of performance, and all that shit you know, I kinda disagree on that part of the video.

Most of these depend on the company or project.
