1. Learn debugging.
2. Quality over Quantity (projects).
3. Read More Code.
4. Contribute to open-source projects
5. Meet ups and conferences.

the problem is every time i want to contribute to open-source projects, i see syntax i have NEVER seen in my 2y of programming 😂😂

All 99% of programmers are watching this except those 1%

Sahil is the guy everyone wants as his senior in college. ❤

Your suggestion about reading more code and learning debugging is absolutely true and resonates with my current situation. As a developer, I am transitioning into a more senior role where I have to deal with a lot more legacy and other people's code. Recently, I have made a concerted effort to read more code than usual. Additionally, my team lead has shown me how to enhance my debugging skills, which not only helps me understand the code better but also eliminates a significant amount of guesswork. Therefore, improving my ability to read code and debug effectively is an absolutely stellar takeaway from your video.

From a bird's-eye perspective, these two aspects may seem obvious, but in the day-to-day work environment, they are often overlooked, as was the case for me. Thank you once again for providing such practical and valuable advice. I am determined to work on enhancing these two skills.

This man actually knows how to keep someone hooked up to his channel ...the way he explains everything patiently and calmly and that also in less than 20 minutes is absolutely amazing, also the way he ends his video by recommending another video of his own channel is so good of a trick and it's hard not to click on it asap . Kuddos 🙌

Para alguien que esta comenzando, esto es oro puro ¡Mil gracias Sahil!

Really nice video, people have a lot of different interpretations of how to succeed in XXX field or career but nobody really gives it a thought to see how people look at it differently at least not the majority.

Though i'm still a junior dev, i always enforce the first 3 points to my less experienced colleagues.
I lost the count on how many good ideas i got from reading others' codes and to adapt them to my needs. The first point is probably one of the most important, if not THE most important, since we gonna learn on how to find possible.problems, right?

Understanding someone elses code is not a matter of 30 minutes. When I get to see a new code base at work it takes me 1-2 weeks working on that project to get confident with the code base.

U r 1 of d best guide for beginners in programmer's world waiting fr u r nxt one bro

[marvin_hansen]

What helped me to get ahead:
1) Learn proper testing and aim for > 85% coverage across the entire code base. It’s amazing how fewer bugs you ship through that alone.

2) Analyze existing solutions for gaps, make a list, and when it’s hard build it to fill all major gaps.

3) Open source the code, use it, blog about it and present it wherever it makes sense.

It’s hard, it really is, but you get orders of magnitudes better in no time.

Thank you, Sahil.
Clear and Concise.
I will try to implement those tips.

[CuriousLayman]

When you strongly feel like you have some genuine bhayya guidance required at the same time sahil bro use to come with his insights and wisdom which is applicable in every walk of life.. I'm feeling grateful that I have discovered you very early.. coming from a very rural area and underprivileged family..Still struggling..but one day I will make it

Subscribed as soon as you mentioned debugging

[LearnCodingWithArshad]

I don't really agree with the part where you say everybody is doing leetcode, watching tutorials and online courses. Because most people aren't really. I think you're assuming that for people that are trying to make it into FAANG. Those are still very relevant and important things to do at first imo. Great points at the later part of the video though, totally agree with all of 'em. Reading and understanding other people's code is very important you can see how other senior engineers solve a specific problem in their code. Nice video overall. Keep up the good work.

[MilindOg]

Sir I just wanna ask you that this time I am in second year and currently doing and learning new concepts in competitive programming can I just after few month can I start debugging the course and can take up course when I am comfortable to understand concepts easily or should I take it now parallel to what I am currently doing?☺☺☺☺

[ahmednabil]

I would say reading books is essential to standout

[vedparkashgaba]

Very useful information for the freshers n motivational also

[pravas]

Hi,
coming straight way to question im planning to start my career in software testing so where im suppose to start?
