- Debugging is important - Debugging is important problem skill learning how to debug effectively is a vital skill for any developer when I stack in any problem before asking to anyone I started debugging and finding where is the issues after that will find the solution for the problem otherwise there is always option to ask someone or search for the solution on the internet.
- Automation is key - Automation is a powerful tool for the developer, as it can help save time and effort on daily routine task.
- Documentation is essential - This is good practice before want to know or learn any programming language or anything must go through the documentation, good documentation is essential for developer to able to understand and use code.
- Version control is essential - Version control is a key tool for developers, as it allows them to keep track of changes to their codebase and manage collaborative projects.
- Collaboration is important - Work with others can help you to learn faster and create better code so It’s important to learn how to collaborate effective with other developer.

- Don’t only apply for job in the language you learned - Coding language have lots of similarity I have started learning coding in C and C++ .I don’t know why it is used but I just want to say this is a language of mother where we learn the basic of coding learn and how to tackle logical problems then i started learning web development languages like HTML,CSS,JAVASCRIPT from very basic so I just want to say that language doesn’t matter to do job ,what matters is what we learn from the languages. Now I am working with No Code-Low code technology.
