I gave Windsurf AI a try past two days.

In general I am not huge fan of AI for developers, but Windsurf actually helped me spend more time doing meaningful development and less time figuring out how to fix my docker configuration.

I am not completely sold, but on the way 😄🫡

A CS degree won’t get you far if you can’t execute.

No one cares about your grades. They care if you can:
✅ Build systems that work
✅ Fix things when they break
✅ Scale to 10K+ users
✅ Say “no” to bad ideas

School won’t teach you this. Get your hands dirty. Build real projects. Launch. Solve real problems.

That’s what impresses employers.

P.S. A degree isn’t bad (I have one). Just don’t expect magic. The magic is in doing the work..

Being just a developer isn’t enough anymore.

AI tools like ChatGPT & Copilot write code well—but we were never just code-writing machines.

To stay irreplaceable, you need to:
🧠 Understand business logic
🗣 Talk to stakeholders
🚀 Make strategic decisions

I built a side project just to learn a new framework.

Never planned to monetize it.

A year later?

Companies started asking to license it.

Lesson?

Even your “learning exercises” can turn into income streams.

Never underestimate the value of your side projects.

Did you know that 95% of open source projects are abandoned within a year? That means no security updates, no bug fixes, and no new features.

How many of those do you rely on?

When was the last time you contributed or supported a dependency that keeps your business running? 🥶

Maybe it’s time for a better way to give back. Stay tuned. 🤩

Most developers make the same mistake with new feature requests:

They dive straight into coding.

But most feature requests come from people who don’t fully understand software.

As developers, our job isn’t just to code.

It’s to understand the problem, evaluate it, and provide a solution—which might not even involve writing code.

It’s not about avoiding code; it’s about digging into the problem, understanding the user, and finding the most optimal solution to ease their frustrations.

Laravel tip: Setting your queue to sync in dev? Be careful! Auth::user() works with sync but fails with workers since no user is authenticated. Fix it by passing the user to the job or setting it in the job’s constructor. Save yourself the headache! #Laravel #DevTips
