As a front-end developer, revisiting the habit of reading between 30-minute work blocks has been incredibly beneficial for me. 📚💻 Reading has helped me in several ways, including: - improving my concentration, - enabling continuous learning, - enhancing my language skills through reading aloud, - strengthening my mouth muscles, - and increasing my awareness. Currently, I am reading "The Culture Map" by Erin Meyer. This insightful book offers invaluable perspectives on understanding and navigating cultural differences, making it a must-read for anyone working in a global context.

If I could give important pieces of advice to my younger self when i started my career as a Developer: 🌟 More code alone won't get you promoted. 🔄 Sure, you could work an extra 3 hours every night, and ship more PRs than your teammates. But that approach Does. Not. Scale. 🌱 What happens when you want to get promoted again? Are we neglecting personal growth and missing out on time with loved ones? 📚 Instead of burning out by focusing solely on scaling your systems, invest time in broadening your knowledge and skills. 👩💻 To benefit not only your team but also your company. 💼 Because no one is determining your pay based on the density of your GitHub contribution graph. 🚀 You get recognized for the measurable outcomes you create for your team, your product, and your customers. 🎯 Focus on moving the needle by increasing your impact. ⏰ Not just your working hours. ---🤓 #careerdevelopment #softwareengineering #advice
