Solutions and value to business is much more important than the latest language/framework.

Be strong in the basics.

First, solve the problem. Then, write the code. - John Johnson

Writing simple and clear code is more difficult than writing magic code.

Code reviews help both the reviewer and reviewee.

(Automated) Testing is easier than debugging.

Automation is King.

Application logs + monitoring save your sleep.

Non tech things are very important like proactive

communication, being on time etc.

You might not need that abstraction - like an ORM.

Thanks! Any questions?
