Intro

As mentioned in my previous article, a good programmer needs to have strong problem-solving skills.
Now, I’d like to delve deeper into this topic and provide more information.

Practice solving problems

Continuously working on solving problems related to software development is crucial for improving problem-solving skills. You can practice solving problems through coding challenges, such as those on sites like HackerRank and LeetCode, or by working on personal projects or contributing to open-source projects.

By regularly solving coding problems, you will become more familiar with common problem-solving approaches and develop a better understanding of how to approach and solve new problems.

Learn from others

Seeking out and learning from more experienced developers is a great way to improve problem-solving skills. You can learn from others through mentorship, working on projects together, or by reading books, articles, and online resources written by experts in the field. By learning from others, you can gain insight into different problem-solving approaches and strategies, and learn from their experiences.
