Developer skills? Just bluffing and googling skills lol
ChatGPT's words:
Okay haha. This time, I'll give you a rough blog post version on developer skills.
Developer skills? Just googling skills with a bit of bluff haha
When people talk about developer skills, they make it sound grand, right? Data structures, algorithms, clean code... But in reality, it's just a fight over who can google faster and copy-paste answers from Stack Overflow. Honestly, without Google, half of the developers would be unemployed haha.
And there's also this saying, "You grow through code reviews." But from my experience, code reviews are just about "Your variable names are weird" or "Fix your indentation." What kind of skill improvement is that? Just being nitpicky.
What is real skill?
-
Being able to curse calmly when a bug pops up
-
The ability to order chicken at the right time even when working overtime
-
The acting skills to tell your boss "It's almost done" with a bluff
That's all.
Oh, and the ultimate skill is the mindset of "Ah, I don't know, I'll do it tomorrow".
Why? Because tomorrow's me will suffer more than today's me haha.
Conclusion: Developer skills = Googling + caffeine + compromising with bugs.
