These 3 tips can help you become a better software developer!

Wanna be an efficient programmer?

Whether you’re a beginner developer or you’ve been at it for years, improving your workflow can feel overwhelming with all the advice out there. But some of the most helpful tips are often the simplest. These three habits can help you become a more efficient programmer, no matter where you are in your coding journey.

Keep your hands on the keyboard

It may sound like a small thing, but trust us—it makes a huge difference. Constantly switching between the keyboard and mouse? That’s time slipping away, bit by bit. Instead, learn shortcuts for your code editor and tools. It’s all about minimising the unnecessary stuff so you can stay in the zone and focused.

Pro tip: Personalise your shortcuts! Make them fit how you work, and soon enough, you’ll be flying through tasks that used to slow you down.

Test your code like your future depends on it

No one writes perfect code right out of the gate. Testing your code isn’t just something you do at the end—it’s an essential part of writing good code. The earlier you test, the quicker you can spot bugs before they become bigger problems. Debugging issues later? That can eat up way more time than handling them during your initial testing.

Make it a habit to write unit tests for every feature you build. Yes, it takes a little extra time up front, but it saves you a lot of headaches later on. Fewer bugs, smoother code, and a better user experience? That’s a win-win.

Just because the code works, doesn’t mean you’re done

We’ve all been there: your code finally works, and you’re ready to move on. But wait! Being an efficient programmer means going the extra mile. Working code is good, but optimised code? That’s great.

Take a little extra time to clean up, refactor, and make sure your code is as fast and readable as possible. It doesn’t have to be more complicated—it just needs to perform better. In the long run, this saves you and your team a lot of time (and frustration).

However, let’s be real: this process of optimising, testing, and refining can be time-consuming. That’s where innovative tools like Conn3ctedAI come into play.
