How I became a better programmer (2017)
My comment is a little tongue in cheek but Here is "How I became a more productive by becoming a worse programmer"- I stopped worrying about best practices and just do it.- I hardly refactor my code unless I'm using the same thing for the fifth time. I just copy-paste it instead.- I never think about optimizing code until I really really need to.- I write what gets the shit done quickly. I don't care if writing a Class would have been better than a function.- I love old boring technologies and believe you can still make amazing websites with just PHP and jQuery.- I don't come up with clever one-liners anymore. I write a 10 line for loop which I could easily replace with a clever one-line code golf.- Instead of writing my own code, I usually search Stackoverflow first to see if I can do some copy-paste it instead.
