Software Development 10 Commandments

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mind and laptop; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success as a developer.

1. Thou Shall Ask For Help ( Be ye your senior/junior, don’t be afraid to ask ).
2. Thou Shall Collaborate/Pair Program Often.
3. Thou Shall Be Empathetic to Other Developers.
4. Thou Shall Have the Knowledge that it’s Okay to not know Everything.
5. Thou Shall Acquire the right tools for day-to-day work and try to gain mastery in it.
6. Thou Shall Be very Confident in thy Abilities.
7. Thou Shall Be Very Formidable in Decision-making ( Your Clients would bow at your feet ).
8. Remember Version Control and Keep it Holy ( Use Highly effective version control systems for all your projects ).
9. Thou Shall not be Discouraged by the Successes of other Developers and How much Knowledge they possess. ( Consistency is Key, One Day you’ll be the envy of other Developers ).
10. Finally, Thou shall Contribute to Open Source. ( You have received a lot and gained a lot from the community, Now give back thou fervent developer!!! ).
Now, these are not hard rules. I know Developers are crazy at carving their niche, explicitly defining their own rules and living by it.
I know some are deemed Code-gods and others mere-mortal developers.
This is just a guide emanating from my experience in training raw talents who knew next to nothing about code to becoming World Class Developers, and also sugarcoated with humor to prevent you from banging your head to injury on the next bug you encounter.
Keep Slaying that code, Thou mighty developer!!!

Technical documentation in software engineering is the umbrella term that encompasses all written documents and materials dealing with software product development. All software development products, whether created by a small team or a large corporation, require some related documentation. And different types of documents are created through the whole  software development lifecycle  (SDLC). Documentation exists to explain product functionality, unify project-related information, and allow for discussing all significant questions arising between stakeholders and developers. Project documentation by stages and purpose On top of that, documentation errors can set gaps between the visions of stakeholders and engineers and, as a result, a proposed solution won’t meet stakeholders expectations. Consequently, managers should pay a lot of attention to documentation quality. Agile and waterfall approaches The documentation types that the team produces and its scope depending on the s
