Blissful Programmer

In this episode we will talk about why code presentation matters. 

The code you write should be the one you would love to work with in the future. Anyone can code by watching a video these days. The main differentiation between programmers is the way they make the code very easy to understand and follow through. Good programmer take time to present the code in a very easy to understand and work with manner.

This is not easy skill and it takes time, practice and lots of conceptual reading. But I would urge you to start thinking of how to present/architect your code better. It will take some time to get your Aha moments but, for the future it is totally worth it.

Some books mentioned:

1. Clean Code, by Bob Martin

2. POODR by Sandi Metz

3. A philosophy of software design by John Ousterhout

In this episode, we would talk about the number one reason why someone who just started with programming stops. We will talk about failures, doubts and how to push through. Programming is tough. Whoever says it is not has not yet worked on a tough problem. It is a skill which makes us learn the process of getting better, handling failures well and be humble. 

Is there an easy way to not face these yet learn programming? I would say no. That is the process. One has to embrace it.

But, once you go through it again and again, have patience and embrace failures and self doubt yet keep going, you will see how tremendous rewards you get afterwards.

Thanks for listening.

In this episode, we would talk about finding the right balance in life as a programmer. 

Programming or software engineering is a stressful job. If someone says it is not, they are likely doing something wrong. We would talk about how to deal with stress, my own story and lessons I learned, healthy habits to have in life, and adapting your off screen life in order to reduce the stress level and be internally blissful. 

Thank you for listening!

In this episode, we would talk about two skills which are the most important to polish to become a good programmer; They are ones you will need to sharpen as you go along. Remember to start somewhere and keep going. Working on these two skills will make you a great problem solver and great for hire. 

Thank you for listening!

In this episode, we would talk about my experience of starting programming and why it is important to use the right language when you are starting up. We will talk about the right skills required to be a good programmer as well as what to work on to become a great one. I don't believe in born talent so I would not say that you are either born a programmer or not. I believe its just a skill and you need time and persistence to master it. 

Thank you for listening!
