Can anyone guess where in Manhattan I was walking?? Based on the looks I was getting, there were lots of software engineers in the area :P

Thank you Rahul for adding valuable lessons for the community!

Hey Rahul, you have been so helpful. I used to work at FB within DE team as a consultant. I left long ago but have always wanted to know what it takes to be a good coder. You were so helpful.

I am a junior Android developer having 5 months of experience 🤣. Before that I have 2 months of Android training. Here at the company where I work the developers with 3 years of experience write such a messy code that changing a single thing becomes a nightmare. Once I was given a Codebase to work on fixing bugs the activity was about 10000 lines of code and additional like 10 different dependency classes heavily sprinkled with magic numbers and magic strings. It took me about 15 days just to understand the flow of code. It took me another 15 days to fix the 🐞. The variables were named something else but were used for something completely different. They don't use any dependency injection tools like dagger or hilt. They code like someone writing Android app in 2010. Neither do they use Kotlin. Once I started a project in Kotlin but had to revert back to java because a so called senior developer was having difficulty understanding Kotlin. There is not any discussion between the front end and backend. They don't follow any architecture pattern. Using retrofit instances directly in the viewmodel. Using 10 instances of the same viewmodel in a single activity. Using static data from a fragment that was three screens before. Working here has become a nightmare.

Thank you Rahul My internship start soon and I was searching this type of video No doubt this video is gold mine because when i contributing to open source project I learn these things too how to write issues how to write pull request (non technical person too understand what changes you are doing) Happy to joined your tech career growth slack too

Thanks Rahul for the great content! Also liking the walk and talk format

Yes king! Slaying the influencer era 🕺🏻🥳✨

you have become an inspiration. Your knowledge is absolutely outstanding and although my programming is basic, i am paying attention tto good practice tips🤠

The release cycle around 2:30 is unfortunately not how the engineers were at my last job; hardly any readability or testing was considered before the engineers submitted their code and after i added more context and maintainability in my PRs, my senior engineers would actually edit out those lines I guess it's good that I left that job xD

I have seen all these things, one colleagues had worked with refused to remodel the commented out codes out of fear of loosing them and even back up code by email. One other sign of poor coding is that the code does not model objects. You see data flows and operations just like in any scripts.

Oh man those console logs i forget to remove 😭😭 thats a big flaw of mine haha

Great video! Looks like Hudson River Park ;)

What is your video setup like ? Camera, editing sw, microphone ?

Yeah I agreed with most of this. But I do tend to like the monolithic file approach.

As a Junior Developer working on moving up the ladder, this was very helpful! Thanks! I STRONGLY recommend a Linter (Sonar Lint) to be installed in your IDE. It tells you your code sucks 100 ways to sunday LMAO

How much ram u have on macbook pro ?

where did the 99% figure come from?

Great stuff as always, thanks Rahul. (Aside: my $ironicFavorite is having the pre-commit hooks apply $whiteSpacePreferenceForce foisted on my code submits so that my $gitUser is attributed with extra lines of code that I can't (and won't) defend when someone asks why git annotate implicates my user with a change that $unattributedAIParserBotFromPreCommitHook actually made. 🙂)

If we start writing good code, ai will learn and more layoffs

Battery park?
