Three Fun Coding Tips
Three fun coding tips featuring Auro, Senior Software Engineer at Intuit India
Focus on TDD: We often think twice about having to increase test coverage, but Test Driven Development (TDD) can often make the development process smoother. As you iterate quickly on a complex feature, your test suite can help detect errors earlier and provide quick feedback and confidence. The best part? Testable code often means cleaner code!
Consider GPT-4 as a teammate: ChatGPT sometimes makes mistakes when I ask for code directly. Instead, I find it useful to chat about code structure, refactors, system design, intricacies of the tech stack, and so on. Pro tip: Use GPT 4.
Embrace community and collaboration: Especially for personal projects and novel fields (e.g., Machine Learning), there's a lot to gain from engaging with the online community working on similar subjects. Be it Open Source repos on GitHub, Discord servers, or even Reddit — it can make the dev process more fun and also provide more perspectives than one. Don't shy away from being a part of the discourse!
