“You’re not going to master the rest of your life in one day, relax, master the day, then keep doing it every day.”

I’m never gonna tired of saying this, programming is as hard as f***, anyone who says otherwise, bless you.

But for 99% of us developers, programming is a pain, so get over it because there is nothing we can do about it, we might as well learn to deal with it.

But working hard every single day just to keep up with the pace, isn’t sustainable at all, we just can’t work hard, we have to work smart because I don’t know if you are aware of this but being a developer isn’t a sprint in which you can give 100% of yourself every day and expect to win in the end, nope, its not a smart move at all.

This is a marathon, learn how to pace or else you’d end up not just exhausted but a quitter — don't be a quitter.

And these simple other things will literally change your life.

Walk a little or a lot

There’s something about nature that can literally change the atmosphere, or is it just me?
