Imagine yourself being on an autopilot mode, brushing your teeth- having coffee- scrolling through emails for the day and the list goes on. How does it feel? Pretty monotonous/ boring, isn’t it? Now, what if when I say around 40 to 45 percent of programmers work on such autopilot mode on a daily basis. Being monotonous is not such a bad thing at all as it saves ample time and energy. For example- Mark Zuckerberg has a common habit of wearing the same clothes to work. Ultimately this helps in saving a lot of energy. Bill Gates has the habit of doing dishes every night, this helps in reducing stress, boost creativity and help the brain to wander and engage in creative problem-solving. With the dawn of the digital revolution, the demand of software developers has raised like never before. Of course, nothing beats the ability to turn ideas into reality and proactive problem-solving skills. Down below I would like to mention a few must-have elements that all kick-ass programmers share. These tidbits of wisdom are gathered to make you grow from a lowly grasshopper to a smart eagle.

Learning is an ongoing process! So what are you waiting for! It’s time to grow and contribute to renewing ourselves as professionals.
