Productivity is not just about how much time you spend on projects. It’s about being efficient when you are working.

As people, we have a superpower; it is the power of perception. As the famous saying goes, life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it.

Since we want to pursue a career in software engineering, which seems to be one of the most desired ones nowadays, it’s essential to understand the overall IT and software industry.

Since I have become a product maker, my work-life routine has changed in 360-degree.

Yes, now I own 💯my time. It’s flexible.

However, there is the other side of the coin.

Getting stuck in a programming problem is a very common thing.

Majority of software developers are aspired to be not only a competent professional but also a great one.

A few years ago, I wanted to do so much, but I just didn’t. Instead, I did that thing called procrastination.

This probably depends on where we live and work, but personally, I have not experienced anything negative for being a female programmer in my few years of career.

Most people want to develop self-awareness. Whether we are managers, entrepreneurs, or aspiring software engineers, the more knowledge we have of our strength and weaknesses, the easier life becomes.

Soft skills are as critical as technical skills for a software engineer. No one works in isolation. Each person has to deal with teammates, colleagues, managers, etc. Therefore team interpersonal skills are essential too. Soft skills include things like good communication, honesty, teamwork, integrity, organization, empathy, etc.
