- Reduce bugs in code
- Improve code quality
You get better with each code review.

⚡ Open source your code
Open source refers to making code publicly accessible for people to use and contribute under a license
Benefits of open source:
- Proof of skills
- Genuine Networking
- Better software quality

⚡ Build in public
Building in public is building software with transparently sharing the behind scenes.
You get to brainstorm with people following your journey; On any topic such as:
- Feature ideas
- Tech stack
- Website design, etc
It's a collaboration of highest order.

⚡ Pair program with peers
Every developer has a different approach to problem solving.
Coding with a peer will expose you to their techniques.
While pair programming you get to:
- Learn
- Teach
- Practice communication skills
which solidifies your understanding of the topic

⚡ Join Developer Communities
Communities are the easiest way to grow as a developer.
In a community, you can get feedback by:
- Working with senior devs
- Asking technical questions
- Sharing your work
You will learn a lot more than just coding.
