10 New Year’s Resolutions Every Web Developer Should Make
10 New Year’s Resolutions Every Web Developer Should Make
=========================================================
1 - Learn a New Language, Framework or Methodology
--------------------------------------------------
We must continue learning about the latest technologies.
2 - Get Better At What You Know
--------------------------------
Set aside some time to also focus on existing languages and software.
3 - Explore a New Field
-----------------------
This resolution is a different twist on the first one. Learning a new language, framework, or methodology in your own field is great, and might even be useful to your daily practice. But if you’re like me, you’re fascinated with every part of the web. Try exploring new fields. Back-end devs: look into front-end development. Front-ends, explore usability or user experience more than you have before. If you enjoy writing, you might be interested in content strategy, or fostering that design flare. There are dozens of fields on the web; explore!
4 - Engage the Community
------------------------
5 - Teach Others
----------------
The most beneficial comments are the ones that hurt your feelings.
6 - Take Better Care Of Yourself
--------------------------------
7 - Manage Your Time (and Other Resources) Better
-------------------------------------------------
8 - Use Better Programming Practices
------------------------------------
I don’t think you’ll ever have an issue with over-documentation.
9 - Generate Passive Income
---------------------------
10 - Take a Break
-----------------
Put on a completely different hat… sometimes
