Technically, the best thing I ever did is their latest song

Or the Japanese Album that they released last month, but it doesn’t have any new songs

Regardless, I’ve really been getting better at programming because of twice

That sounds like voodoo hahaha. I’ve never heard of twice and I don’t generally listen to korean songs.

To answer this question tho:

Keeping the goals I have in sight has made me a better programmer and a better person too probably. It’s a good idea to have a goal for anything you do. Answering to help questions here on the forum also helps retain the knowledge I have and also optimize my work.

Honestly what’s making me a better programmer is looking at other people’s code.

I tend to get in the habit of thinking the way I code is the best way. I don’t do this on purpose and I feel like it’s pretty common to think your way is the best way if you haven’t seen it done any other way.

That along with listening to coding podcasts on the way to and from work seem to be helping a lot.

I’ve fallen victim to burnout numerous times in the past. I feel like by expanding my learning experience to other avenues besides the endless grind is really helping me avoid it this time around.

Doing project based work (both personal and challenges like FCC projects), which seems to expose me to more unexpected problems to solve.
