Today, I’m diving into 8 unwritten rules of web development I’ve picked up over the years as a developer. These are not hard or fast rules but ones I thought might be good to share.
Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting, these nuggets of (hopeful) wisdom can help you navigate the digital landscape with confidence and finesse. If you come to forks in the road, I’d like to think these “rules” will help you decide the path to take without fear or doubt.
1. Embrace the Power of Clean Code
2. Stay Updated, Stay Relevant
3. Prioritize User Experience
4. Security is Non-Negotiable
5. Version Control is Your Best Friend
6. Over-communicate and try to collaborate
7. Test, Test, and Test Again
8. Document Your Journey
