Being the person you needed to be when you were younger starts with these 𝟳 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀:

1. Embrace approachability.

Give the younger you the gift of approachability by making yourself open and available to talk.

If you're in a higher position, encourage your team to ask you questions or give feedback.

Start by saying "how can I help?".
2. Be a friend, not just a mentor.

It's simple: people learn best from those they trust and respect.

By being friendly with colleagues and employees, you can build a rapport that will increase the impact of your mentorship.

3. Offer constructive feedback.

Feedback is one of the best ways that people grow and develop.

But it needs to be encouraging and keep company culture in mind.

Remember that the future of your mentee is in your hands.

4. Share your personal growth.

Be candid with your growth journey of overcoming obstacles, failures and mistakes.

Sharing personal experiences as a mentor will demonstrate that you are human too.

It will also encourage people to take risks and embrace failures as learning opportunities.

5. Listening is key.

To be the mentor you needed, you must listen more than you talk.

Take time to really listen to your mentee even if it means sacrificing no small talk moments.

Pay attention to what's being said, and ask questions to gain a deeper understanding.

6. Online resources.

Today's world is digital and most of the learning happens online.

When you come across useful resources, share them with your mentee.

Whether it's a job opening, a helpful article, or a YouTube tutorial, every little bit of insight counts.

7. Encourage creativity.

During your mentorship, encourage your mentee to move beyond their comfort zone and explore creative ways to work.

Helping them discover new methods in which to innovate can lead to breakthrough ideas previously unconsidered.

Remote Teams, Listen Up:  
 
Your Code Deserves Armor. 
 
 
Our code travels across networks more than we do.  
 
It's time to armor it up with encryption - not just a shield, but a fortress. 
 
Here’s how: 
 
 
> Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) - A non-negotiable first step. VPNs encrypt internet traffic, making data transfers to and from remote teams secure. 
 
 
> End-to-End Encryption Tools for Communication - Whether it's Slack, Signal, or WhatsApp for Business, ensure your messages are for your eyes only. 
 
 
> Secure File Storage and Sharing - Services like Tresorit or pCloud offer robust encryption, ensuring your files are Fort Knox-ed away from prying eyes. 
 
 
> Password Managers - One password to rule them all. Tools like BitWarden or 1Password can generate and store complex passwords. 
 
 
> Regular Security Audits - Implement routine checks with tools like Nessus or Qualys to hunt for vulnerabilities. 
 
 
 
And here’s the kicker: 
 
Educate Your Team.  
 
The most sophisticated tools are only as effective as the awareness of the team using them.  
 
Make security practices part of your culture, not just your toolbox.

Are your programming skills as timeless as you think? 
 
Let's see: 
 
 
In the world of software engineering, trends come and go, but wisdom is forever.  
 
Here are 10 programming proverbs that stand the test of time: 
 
 
“First, solve the problem. Then, write the code.”  
 
- Before diving into coding, understand the problem at its core. Clarity is king. 
 
 
 
“In programming, the hard part isn't solving problems, but deciding what problems to solve.”  
 
- Prioritization is your best skill. Focus on what truly matters. 
 
 
 
" Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.”  
 
- Write your code as if the person who ends up maintaining it is a violent psychopath who knows where you live. 
 
 
 
“ Perfection (in design) is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.”  
 
- Simplicity is the soul of efficiency. 
 
 
 
“ Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand”.  
 
- Code for your colleagues, not just for the machine. 
 
 
 
“ Make it work, make it right, make it fast.”  
 
- In that order. Functionality first, optimization later. 
 
 
 
“ The best method for accelerating a computer is the one that boosts it by 9.8 m/s².”  
 
- Sometimes, starting over is the fastest solution. 
 
 
 
“ The most damaging phrase in the language is, 'We've always done it this way.'”  
 
- Challenge the status quo. Innovate. 
 
 
 
“ Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen.” 
 
- Flexibility in your approach is essential. Adapt. 
 
 
 
“ Weeks of coding can save you hours of planning.”  
 
- Wait, that's not right. Plan more, code less. Efficiency is key. 
 
 
 
These proverbs are the compass that can guide you through the complex landscape of technology and coding.  
 
Reflect on them, apply them, and watch how they transform your approach to coding and problem-solving.

Coding's first steps are slippery. 
 
Don't slide alone, let me give you a hand. 
 
 
Here’s how to quickly master Data Structures and Algorithms! 
 
 
> Master the Basics First < 
 
Before you scale the coding mountain, get familiar with the base camp - the fundamental data structures: Arrays, Stacks, Queues, and Linked Lists. 
 
 
> Solve Problems Daily < 
 
Start with simple challenges on platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank. It's like muscle memory; the more you practice, the stronger your coding skills become. 
 
 
> Visualize to Memorize < 
 
Visual learning aids comprehension and retention. Sketching the flow of an algorithm can unravel complex concepts, making them easier to understand. 
 
 
> Learn to Read Code < 
 
Before you write, read. Analyzing others’ code is a fast track to improvement. It exposes you to different coding styles and techniques, expanding your repertoire of solutions. 
 
 
> Stay Curious and Connected < 
 
Join a community. Whether it’s Reddit, StackOverflow, or GitHub, being part of a group keeps you motivated, provides support, and fuels your passion for continuous learning. 
 
 
 
Embarking on your coding voyage with these steps can significantly ease your transition into software development.

FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK 📢

It's crucial not to blindly trust advice or comparisons from strangers online. 

While I prefer a more open-minded approach to uncolicited advise, it’s important to remember that it’s just their opinion and there are a lot of people aren’t actually as “credible” as they claim. 

Timothy Armoo’s post is spot on. 

Here's why:

✨ Embrace Your Uniqueness: Your journey is yours alone, and comparison only undermines your individuality.

📸 Be Wary of the Highlight Reel: Online personas often present curated, idealised versions of reality, concealing the complexities of real life.

🌍 Limited Perspective: Online interactions offer only a glimpse into someone's life, lacking the depth and nuance of reality.

💗 Safeguard Self-Esteem: Constant comparisons can erode self-worth, detracting from appreciating your own strengths and uniqueness.

💭 Unrealistic Standards: Strangers online may project unrealistic ideals, setting unattainable benchmarks that breed dissatisfaction.

🎯 Respect Different Goals: Recognise that your aspirations may differ from those you encounter online, and that's perfectly okay.

💆‍♂️ Mind Your Mental Health: Engaging in constant comparisons can fuel stress and anxiety, jeopardising your mental well-being.

⏳ Save Time and Energy: Redirect your focus toward personal growth rather than getting caught up in others' narratives.

🤝 Prioritise Authenticity: Genuine connections and authentic experiences hold greater value than superficial online interactions.

🧠 Cultivate Mental Well-being: Guard your mental health against the negative impacts of virtual comparisons, prioritising inner peace and self-care.

Have you heard of the 12-Factor App? 
 
The "12 Factor App" offers a set of best practices for building modern software applications. Following these 12 principles can help developers and teams in building reliable, scalable, and manageable applications. 
 
Here's a brief overview of each principle: 
 
1. Codebase:  
Have one place to keep all your code, and manage it using version control like Git. 
 
2. Dependencies:  
List all the things your app needs to work properly, and make sure they're easy to install. 
 
3. Config:  
Keep important settings like database credentials separate from your code, so you can change them without rewriting code. 
 
4. Backing Services:  
Use other services (like databases or payment processors) as separate components that your app connects to. 
 
5. Build, Release, Run:  
Make a clear distinction between preparing your app, releasing it, and running it in production. 
 
6. Processes:  
Design your app so that each part doesn't rely on a specific computer or memory. It's like making LEGO blocks that fit together. 
 
7. Port Binding:  
Let your app be accessible through a network port, and make sure it doesn't store critical information on a single computer. 
 
8. Concurrency:  
Make your app able to handle more work by adding more copies of the same thing, like hiring more workers for a busy restaurant. 
 
9. Disposability:  
Your app should start quickly and shut down gracefully, like turning off a light switch instead of yanking out the power cord. 
 
10. Dev/Prod Parity:  
Ensure that what you use for developing your app is very similar to what you use in production, to avoid surprises. 
 
11. Logs:  
Keep a record of what happens in your app so you can understand and fix issues, like a diary for your software. 
 
12. Admin Processes:  
Run special tasks separately from your app, like doing maintenance work in a workshop instead of on the factory floor. 
 
Over to you: Where do you think these principles can have the most impact in improving software development practices?

Is the 'Perfect' Work-Life Balance a Myth for Software Developers?  
 
I don’t think so. 
 
 
Software developers often find themselves at a crossroads:  
 
 
📅 Chasing deadlines  
 
Or  
 
🚀 Cherishing life's moments.  
 
 
Yet, amidst this chaos, a harmonious balance can be found, here’s how: 
 
 
> Boundaries are Your Best Friend < 
 
Setting clear boundaries helps create a sacred space for your personal life to flourish. Define your work hours, communicate them, and watch your stress levels drop. 
 
 
> Prioritization: The Silent Hero < 
 
Starting your day with a to-do list might seem trivial, but prioritizing tasks is where productivity soars. High-priority tasks first, the rest can wait. 
 
 
> The Power of 'No' < 
 
Yes, the smallest word with the biggest impact. It's not about being uncooperative but being strategic with your commitments. This simple act can transform your work-life balance. 
 
 
> Automate, Delegate, Celebrate < 
 
Why do it all when technology and teamwork can take the load off? Automating mundane tasks and delegating effectively means more time for what truly matters. 
 
 
 
Striking balance is a continuous journey.  
 
It's about making conscious choices every day to thrive in your personal world.

Why do some apps feel seamless? 
 
The secret's in their architecture. 
 
 
Let's navigate the common architectural patterns together - MVC, MVP, and MVVM.  
 
 
MVC (Model-View-Controller): 
 
> Model holds the data. 
 
> View displays the data (UI). 
 
> Controller bridges the model and view, handling the logic. 
 
 
Real-world scenario - Web applications like Django (Python) and Ruby on Rails make heavy use of MVC for a clean separation of concerns. 
 
 
 
MVP (Model-View-Presenter): 
 
> Model is the data source. 
 
> View is the interface, displaying the data. 
 
> Presenter acts as a middleman, fetching data from the model to update the view. 
 
 
Real-world scenario - Android app development, where activities and fragments represent the view, and presenters ensure the UI logic is separated, enhancing testability and maintenance. 
 
 
 
MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel): 
 
> Model represents the data and business logic. 
 
> View is the UI element, like in MVC and MVP. 
 
> ViewModel binds the view and model, automating data synchronization. 
 
 
Real-world scenario - Modern web and mobile applications, especially those using frameworks like Angular for the web and SwiftUI for iOS, benefit from MVVM for dynamic data binding and efficient UI updates. 
 
 
 
Each pattern serves a unique purpose, fitting different scenarios like puzzle pieces.  
 
> MVC is your go-to for traditional web applications 
 
> MVP shines in testable Android apps 
 
> MVVM excels in reactive applications with dynamic user interfaces.

Startup success is no fairy tale.

But for this one company, it almost was.


Let me share how SH Technology turned chaos into clarity for a property management startup.


Challenge Accepted:


> Diverse needs? Check.

> Complex payment flows? Double-check.

> A call for best practices? Triple-check.


The journey was about setting a new standard in property management.



> Unique Solutions for Unique Users <


They didn't just create interfaces; they crafted experiences. 

Using React and React XP, they designed distinct yet cohesive user interfaces for admins, managers, owners, and tenants. 

The result? A platform where everyone feels at home.

Frontend Development for Property Management Startup

How safe is your sensitive data, really? 
 
It’s time to stop guessing and start securing. 
 
 
Let's dive into the core practices every developer should adopt to fortify their code against the dark arts of cyber threats. 
 
 
> Embrace Secure Coding Standards < 
 
Start with a solid base - OWASP's Secure Coding Practices or the CERT Coding Standards. These aren't just guidelines; they're your coding bible. 
 
 
> Understand Your Data < 
 
Know which data is sensitive and treat it like gold. Encrypt it, both at rest and in transit. Remember, personal data is not just a string of characters; it's someone's identity. 
 
 
> Regular Dependency Checks < 
 
Your code isn't an island. Regularly audit your libraries and dependencies. Vulnerabilities often sneak in through outdated packages. Keep them updated, always. 
 
 
> Principle of Least Privilege < 
 
Every piece of code, every module, every service - grant it the minimal access rights it needs to perform its function. Less is more when it comes to permissions. 
 
 
> Input Validation < 
 
Trust no one. Sanitize and validate all inputs to protect against SQL injection, XSS, and other injection flaws. If it comes from the outside, assume it's trying to break in. 
 
 
> Error Handling < 
 
Be vague. Detailed error messages are gold mines for hackers. Log the details internally, but keep the messages displayed to users generic. 
 
 
> Penetration Testing < 
 
Hire ethical hackers. Let them attack your application. It's better to find the vulnerabilities before the attackers do. 
 
 
> Incident Response Plan < 
 
When things go south, know what to do. An incident response plan isn't just a nice-to-have; it's a must. Preparation is key to recovery. 
 
 
 
Security is a journey, not a destination.  
 
Keep learning, keep adapting, and keep your guard up.
