If you found value in this thread you will most likely enjoy my tweets too so make sure you follow me on Twitter for more information about web development and how to improve as a developer.
1. Don't repeat yourself
This habit is based on DRY.
The “Don't Repeat Yourself” principle is a software development practice aimed at reducing the repetition of information.
So when you have a piece of code that repeats in your codebase try to put that into a function.
2. Code every day
This is so important especially if you're learning how to code.
Typing some code for as little as 15 minutes every day can increase your skills a lot faster.
And by developing this habit you won't rely on motivation.
3. Never stop learning
Being a developer is a lifelong learning journey.
The worst thing you can do as a developer is to stop learning new technologies.
This field evolves so fast and you need to keep up with it.
4. Think before you write code
Don't just write code without having a solution in mind.
Start by thinking about the solution for the problem you want to solve and only after that start to write it.
This will save you a lot of time down the road.
5. Avoid burnout
Listen to your body.
When you feel like you need some rest take a break.
Burning out == at least a few weeks of no code.
A small break from time to time can help you avoid this.
