I just started a linkedIn course in Software Development, if you have any tips that you might like to share that will be highly appreciated.

GitHub announces 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲. It turns GitHub issues into working code. Starting from a GitHub issue, it will deeply analyze your code base to understand what the current code does. Then it generates a proposal (kind of a high-level spec) on what needs to change to satisfy the requirement. It follows with a step-by-step plan on the required code changes, even pointing to the exact files that need to get added or changed. You can modify the generated plan to match exactly what you need. Click on the 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 button and Copilot prepares all the changes for you automatically. On top of that, it will build and test the changes to make sure the proposal will actually work. In fact, it can even run the code so you can verify the implementation visually. From there it can generate a pull request with a summary of the included changes so your teammates can approve. Brace for impact folks, this will change software development forever.

When it comes to learning the world of software development through Parsity, it’s a lot to absorb for a linear mind like mine. I’ve been monitoring how much time allows for optimal focus and retention. That sweet spot is key, I started doing 25-5 Pomodoros but realized for me that’s a bit quick to digest what I’m building. 45-10 windows are my sweet spot right now. Long enough to get lost in the code and make some real progress, but not too long to where I can't get back in it 10 mins later. I’ve discovered I have a few cues I do that signal my focus is fading, the main one being trying to fix smaller problems that don’t need attention compared to my main problem. When I notice I’m doing that I “take a lap” or stretch. Then I come back and remind myself of the main problem I’m trying to fix. What is your focus sweet spot? What are your distraction cues?

This is an interesting viewpoint on LLMs in software development. I think my take away is not so much the use of AI but how software development is misunderstood. If you fail to treat programmers as problem solvers - you've missed the point of the role. So by extension, failure to state the problem accurately and failure to solve the problem effectively are the root causes of software issues. Throwing more devs at that situation will only serve to burn time, cash and stakeholder patience. https://lnkd.in/ebTFn39Z

Software Developement looks easy until you delve into it . It’s like an Ocean, it’s either you learn to swim and float or you drown in it . The most important thing is not giving up and practicing over and over again. #softwaredevelopment #nodejsdevelopers
