How many of them have you heard of before?
When we all are talking about c, c++, Java, Python, etc. there are some languages that are not only difficult but are almost incomprehensible for most software developers.
These languages are called esoteric programming language (or esolang).
An esolang is not designed for commonplace software development purposes. They are intended as a proof of concept or as a joke.
Here is a list of the five most difficult esoteric languages. I tried executing the ‘Hello World!’ program in each of these languages, and it is fun.

Know the signs, so you do not make the same mistakes in your software development career
Experience in software engineering comes with the number of years you are in the profession. The statement is true to a certain extent. However, the number of years in a job does not make you gain the right experience by default.
I have seen people behave amateur like, even after working in their job for a good number of years. They hardly learn the basics of software development. Their growth stagnates after an initial couple of years, but they do not understand what they are doing wrong.
At the same time, I have worked with developers with just a couple of years of experience who show an incredible amount of growth potential. They possess the right attitude and know-how to avoid incompetent behavior. …

Take care of security risks in your code as a responsible software developer
As the organizations worldwide expand aggressively on their digital footprint, incidents related to security breaches become more frequent. Companies are losing millions of dollars due to data thefts caused by vulnerabilities exposed by the application code.
As per IBM’s data breach report, on average, companies lost USD 3.85M per data breach globally in 2020. The average annual cost of a data breach in India is estimated to be around USD 2M. In the same year, the average cost is pegged to be around USD 8.64M in the United States.
Security breaches also have adverse impacts on the company’s reputation. Organizations spend much more time to reinstate their consumer’s trust after security incidents. Most of these breaches can be prevented by doing thorough security testing during the application development phase. …

Learn these skills to grow faster in your software development career
Coding is a mandatory skill to become a software developer. In a team, every developer must have gone through the same technical interview process to get recruited. Hence it is fair to assume that they all possess more or less similar levels of coding skill.
In such a scenario, how can someone stand out as an excellent software developer? What can they do differently to have an accelerated growth compared to their peers?

Know their characteristics and how it impacts their career growth.
Every software development team consists of team members of different caliber and capability. Not everyone in the team contributes at the same level. In most teams, only a small percentage of developers are actually highly productive.
Note, I am not classifying the developers based on their coding excellence. A strong coder might become irrelevant to the team if their contribution does not match the expectation of the team.
Based on the productivity and their contribution towards the delivery, we can decide how relevant a developer is for the team. Note, I am not classifying the developers based on their coding excellence. …
