Code.

Just code.

Like, a lot.

How?

Well, do projects.

What projects?

Good tools, stupid ideas, fun things etc...

Just code.

Personally I did

• My personal website
• My bands website
• A shitty social media thing, kind of Facebook but dumb
• Another shitty social media thing in another framework
• Some Rock Paper Scissors MMORPG which constantly broke because I tried to write all multiplayer things from scratch in c++ haha, fuck me that sucked 😅
• Some other shitty web site
• A program to help me write my blog posts, in my json format, for my website
• Some games with different tools
• Some android apps, one larger exercise tracker
• A million smaller scripts / tools

And then I also did a lot of competetive programming and things like

• Adventofcode (this is the best)
• Codingame
• Kattis
• And a million other of these types of things

Plus, I did join different hackathons like gamejams et.c and I really recommend going to these because of how it is

1. Fun
2. Networking
3. Networking

Then you can read some books. I highly recommend

• Clean code

Learn to write clean code. Learn to write tests. Learn to write simple makefiles to run maintenance things.

Just. Code.

Like, a lot.

But most importantly: Have fun.
