Do you want to stop being a junior, I leave you these 8 tips to start improving your seniority level.

1. Use extensions in the editor:

Modern text editors or development environments (IDEs) allow the installation and configuration of multiple extensions that can help you improve your development time and help you have cleaner code.

2. Look in the right places:

There are forum platforms or blogs focused on development issues where doubts, errors or solutions are published, some of these are Stack Overflow and Medium.

3. Develop in English:

Currently, most companies dedicated to software development manage all their projects in English, so it is ideal that you get used to doing your personal projects in this language, so you could also share your project with other people.

4. A good statement says more than a thousand comments:

Use clear and specific names in your variables and functions so you don’t have to use comments explaining what the function does or what the variable stores example, userName, getUserData among others.

5. Join communities and participate:

On Facebook there are groups focused on programming in general or on specific languages, joining them will help you learn more, answer questions and make yourself known. Giving you the possibility of finding job offers focused on your knowledge.

6. If you have problems with a library, look for the answer directly in the documentation:

If you have an error in an installed library, go directly to its documentation and make sure you have followed the installation steps correctly, or in some cases the documentation itself indicates possible errors and how to fix them. In addition, in some cases the library has a public repository on Github and here the users of this library share the errors they have found and in some cases answer how to fix it.

7. Practice:

Start your own projects, they don’t have to be complex applications, the ideal is that you program and start implementing good practices.
It is also ideal that you publish your projects on GitHub, so you can start showing your knowledge to other people.

8. Avoid repeating code:
