I want to tell you how to be a more efficient software developer. Now, my “Why I Code for 4 Hours” video touches on the broader spectrum of how I am able improve efficiency in life that drips into my work as a software developer. This video is to get into the nitty-gritty details that are specific to developers, like taking time to master your IDE, refactoring your code, not over-engineering your solutions or reinventing the wheel, having a set of coding standards and style guidelines that you stick by, or even something as simple as learning keyboard shortcuts. Now, many of these things may take some time to accomplish up-front, but you have to weigh the time savings. You’ll find the long-term gain heavily outweighs the short-term loss.
This is what I implore you to do. Become an efficient programmer by following the things laid out in this video. You won’t be able to implement everything all at once. But pick one or two and start. Then pick up another few when you feel confident you’ve accomplished and can maintain the prior two. A comment with something you learned here today that maybe you’ll start implementing tomorrow will be greatly appreciated. Enjoy!

Short version: 1. Flow and learn the good practice's and style guides. 2. Learn IDE shortcuts and install plugins according to your work flow (he hasn't mentioned even one plugin in this video). 3. See how others have done the thing and don't spend doing it from scratch. Nothing new here a lot of videos are already created like these, wasted my 12mins (9 in video and 3m writing this comment ) Hope saved a little for you 😉😉

Hey Forrest, firstly I would like to thank you for these videos. Secondly, I’d say I learned how important it is to have my code structured and organized in a manner that will allow for readability and reusability. I also now will look into what API is, and try to familiarize myself with the IDEs better.

I like that you mentioned learning your IDE. With all the arguments that arise about VS Code vs vim vs whatever else... the real point is how well you know how to use the IDE that you choose.

@bdinh3130 Год назад

There's always vscode with vim bindings. And with all the plugins now for vim and neovim you can easilly run into a situation where you are just as bogged down in vim/neovim as you might be in vscode. The only thing i'll say is vim/neovim has a steeper learning curve that allows you to curtail these issues if you know what you are doing (lazy loading, fzf, ctags, etc.). But if you don't want to invest the time and just want to code vscode with vim bindings if you want is fine enough. Honestly the main reason to use vim imo is how seamless it is to interact with your terminal. Cause it is a terminal program. You can configure an IDE to do all the same things, start up servers, connect to databases, ssh, etc. But it just isn't as seamless and you don't have as granular of control obviously. Not to mention having a scripting language like bash or zsh to let you automate certain things. So really, if you aren't on a linux system or don't want to familiarize yourself with that, then there is even less reason to use vim/neovim.

@AndrewErwin73 Год назад

@@bdinh3130 I don't disagree with any of that! It is a matter of preference, and you are exactly right, there isn't too much (that I can tell) that you can do in one that you can't do in the other. The point is to learn it! I think the trap people fall into (possibly part of your point) is that they think one is "better" or "easier" or whatever...but whichever you choose, you will be a more efficient programmer if you know all of the features. So, I guess the point is to use the one that you have the better time learning and even mastering.

I have recently moved to astro nvim, used vscodium, atom, spyder, codeblocks, kate in the past and only just finally realised that nowadays at least, at the end of the day, the main thing I care about, highlighting and suggestions, is all handled by the same lsps in the background regardless of what editor you use... Agreeable defaults (covers most of what you personally want), ease of configuration and modularity is all that matters really (but ceases to matter as much once you're familiar with something and already does all you need it to). For me, using multiple accounts on multiple machines, being able to synchronise those configs is also good. At this point I'm just a bit of a javascript/electron/json hater and like that my editor is no longer built on that, why do I need web stuff when all I'm trying to is edit some text? Nvim and its extensions also just feels way more transparent, but again, maybe I just prefer lua over javascript. I like to open and close my text editor frequently on different files, so its nice that it can do that snappily now. Also wasn't willing to put up with microshaft telemetry in vscode but vscodium doesn't package some default extensions like the intellij c extension because of the licence and the didn't have luck getting the other extensions to work (so you end up manually installing the original extension), it genuinely was easier to set in vim... Kinda annoyed that nvim has been around since 91, does everything I need it to and I've wasted so much time with shinier newfangled options that did less...

great video, I'm actually updating my dev Lifecycle and adding new habits along with removing some bad ones (like writing everything myself). Will try the techniques and will let you know

What keyboard is that?

@Sharp931 Год назад

I only used simple linters.

@JuanmaGuerrero Год назад

I also want to know which keayboard is that you're using ^__^ looks pretty cool!

@ikarosouza Год назад

What I'm learning nowadays is that if the standards put in place on the codebase you're working on are shit, it's better no to use them. For example: create 3 files for 3 different components even if components B and C will only be used by component A and all of them are simples, simply because the standard is to have a file for each component. It makes analysing the component structure so much worse. Another one: using export default in a component file, to then import it in an index.js file in the same folder to create a module, as default and export it with another name. THIS. SUCKS. SO. FUCKING. BAD.

I was a bit underwhelmed at this video. Mostly advertising, not enough actual information. Really liked your early videos, though, and I hope you'll find your footing while balancing the content.

Can you please share why you shifted from iOS to Web

@prasannakumar-hh7cc Год назад

@textmforrestknight Thanks . I 'm not sure whats your primary skill, as I don't see any iOS related videos from your side recently. Is it even possible a person doing freelancing projects in both Web and iOS side-by-side ?
