Nobody want to be a shitty programmer. The question is: Do you do anything not to not be one? Reading blogs or social media and watching YouTube videos is fun. After them, your code may be a little better, of course. But you need a lot. You need to study! Read good books and study the code of other programmers, for example. Maybe work with a new language, architectures and paradigms. You need break the routine.

If you know Object-oriented programming, you learn functional programming. If you know Model-View-Controller, you learn Model-View-ViewModel. If you don't know anything about architectures, you learn Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, etc. If you know Python, you learn Ruby or Go. If you know Clojure or Lisp... you don't need to learn anything else. You are already a good programmer. Just kidding. You can learn Elixir or Scala.

Be a good programmer my friend.

Does anyone here write in a Lisp dialect? #clojure #commonlisp #lisp
