At just 17, I never imagined I’d be in a position to mentor, learn from, and empower great minds in the tech industry. Every day, I’m grateful for the great manifestations happening around me. It’s a journey of continuous learning, and I owe it all to God’s grace and the amazing people I’ve met along the way. 🙌❤️

One of the best parts of this journey is connecting with aspiring developers who are eager to learn and grow. Recently, someone reached out to me on GitHub and Twitter with a simple yet powerful question:

“How can I become a better programmer?”

It reminded me of when I was just starting out, navigating the world of code, debugging frustrations, and late-night problem-solving. So, I decided to share some key lessons that have shaped my growth:

  1. Master the Fundamentals

Programming is like building a house—the foundation matters. Focus on core concepts like:
• Data structures & algorithms
• Problem-solving techniques
• Best coding practices & clean code

  1. Build, Break, and Learn

The best way to grow is by building projects, making mistakes, and learning from them. Start small, then gradually take on bigger challenges.

  1. Read & Contribute to Open Source

Reading other people’s code can teach you a lot! Contributing to open-source projects on GitHub helps you gain real-world experience and collaborate with experienced developers.

  1. Stay Curious & Keep Learning

Technology evolves fast! Follow tech blogs, read documentation, explore new frameworks, and never stop learning.

  1. Engage with the Developer Community

Surround yourself with like-minded developers. Join Twitter tech spaces, participate in forums like Stack Overflow, and contribute to platforms like Dev.to.

💡 Remember: Growth isn’t just about writing code—it’s about solving problems, sharing knowledge, and lifting others up.
