15 Developer Lessons I Wish I Knew Earlier 💡
|
Hey Reader, If you’ve been coding for a while, you’ve probably asked yourself this too: “Am I getting better… or just older?” I’ve been writing software for fifteen years now, and that question still sneaks up on me. But looking back, I’ve realized something: real growth in tech isn’t about frameworks or chasing trends. It’s about staying curious, patient, and keeping your spark alive when everything feels heavy. So I made a new video about it, my 15 biggest lessons from 15 years of coding. Click here if you want to watch it right now! 🔥 It’s a personal one. I talk about imposter syndrome, side projects, burnout, and the weird balance between thinking you’re great and realizing you’ve still got a lot to learn. If you’ve been in this world for a while, or just started your first job, I think it’ll hit home. Take care, Patrick |

Hey friend, I just released a new video and wanted to share it with you. Watch the video here 👇 I used GitHub Copilot to build a small Blazor weather app. It worked almost instantly and even used real API calls. At first glance, everything looked great. Then I opened the Razor file. All the logic was sitting in one place. UI, API calls, and business logic mixed together. It worked, but it was not something I would ship. In the video, I show how I fix this using a single refactoring prompt. I...
