Software Development Best Practices
As a new developer or someone launching a startup, you're constantly balancing a mountain of tasks. Tight deadlines are closing in, incomplete features are stacking up, and there's likely a stubborn bug hiding in your code that refuses to be fixed, no matter how hard you try. Some days, you stare at the screen and wonder, “How does any of this even function?” Many of these challenges stem from overlooking time-tested fundamentals—or worse, being unaware that best practices for software development exist at all. You might tell yourself, “I’ll learn as I go,” but experience shows that path rarely leads anywhere good. It's like setting off on a long drive without checking if your tank is full. Eventually, you'll break down somewhere far from where you need to be, miles from your goal.
