What is the best time to start looking for a new job? Here are some signs: 🔸 Toxic environment, bad boss or a coworker 🔸 You don't feel valued at your current job 🔸 You've stopped growing or learning 🔸 Boring projects 🔸 No raises for years

1️⃣ The toxic environment is the single, most important reason to leave a job. Your health and well-being are more important than your job. It could be a bad boss or a coworker. Whatever it is, put yourself in the first place.

Living paycheck to paycheck gives you super anxiety, even if you have save. There are so many things that we can't control and that could have a dramatic impact on personal finances: - getting sick - loosing a job - volatile markets - inflation What are your options? 🧵

Fast paced life and not caring about our health can lead to this. No one could predict the Covid-19. Being sick can impair working ability and if you need to work to earn money, well you have a problem. Health always comes first, remember this!

Blog, Twitter and LinkedIn. I'm trying to write on all three, but it's challenging. 🔸 Blog is mean for longer, evergreen content 🔸 Twitter moves fast, shorter form 🔸 LinkedIn sits between these two Here's what to do if you don't want to burn out and crash writing. 🧵

You should have a plan how frequently to publish on each platform. Don't have a plan yet? Make one! It's important to try and keep to the plan, but also be realistic.

Find out what .NET is and it's flavors. What is colloquially known as ".NET" is both SDK, used to develop app and runtime - needed to run ".NET" apps. Languages supported by .NET are: C#, F#, Visual Basic, IronPython and more. There was even J# (Java) at some point.

Here are the flavors of ".NET": 👉 .NET Framework - it all started 20 years ago, runs on Windows only. Not updated anymore, avoid 👉 .NET Core - new and open source, runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. 🔥 👉 .NET - new name, .NET Core renamed to only .NET. The future. 🔥🔥🔥

Entity Framework Core is fantastic, and I use it as the ORM of choice. However, many developers struggle or don't like it because of performance issues. Here's what you need to do to optimize EF Core performance 🧵👇

💡 Clean Code principles, part 2. In this part focus is on: • Long methods • Methods with too many arguments • Nested (arrow) code • God classes More in a thread 🧵👇

Be a team player! It usually takes a whole team, not an individual to ship high quality, performant code and great UX. We are stronger as a team! Traits of great teams: - effective communication - respect and honesty - no blaming

1️⃣ Effective communication: Async is often times better than many short chat messages. Emails can be better than long audio/video calls. Be sure to: - write/speak so people can understand you - mention most important things first - provide context - avoid ambiguity

Code reviews are effective way to improve code quality and maintain high standards in your organization / team. Some tips for better code reviews: - annotate your code in PR - be respectful of the author - you are not your code - suggest change in a polite way - be constructive

💡 Clean Code principles are back! In this second part, I write about: - Bad naming - Comments - Code repetition - Zombie code #cleancode #programming

1️⃣ Bad naming: how many times have you seen badly named variables, functions and classes? I have seen them quite a lot. Good naming can make it easier to read code and understand what it does, so you don't need to use comments as much (or at all).
