We all want to be as effective as possible that’s why we are developing things which boost our (and others) productivity, but we are also using tools from other developers, who made these tools with the same reason. So I want to introduce you to my top 5 tools (for web developers) I’m using on an everyday basis. The list is not sorted in any way, all of these tools are very amazing and make our life easier. You can leave a comment down below with your curated list of favourite tools for web developers! So let’s get started 🚀 Lighthouse is an amazing (open source) tool made by Google. It reports important aspects of our web pages, such as Seo, Performance, Accessibility, Best practises and more! Amazing feature of Lighthouse is that it can be used in many ways, the most popular one is using official Google Chrome Extension, but you aren’t bound to using only Chrome extension, other ways are: Note that with Web UI you don’t have to install anything, however, you are limited by the available options. When using the extension you can “emulate” CPU throttling and internet speed, so you can see how is your website doing on low-end hardware devices, isn’t that awesome? Chrome and Firefox devtools Personally, I don’t use Firefox devtools that much, but I would say using both of them in parallel is great because each of them has amazing features the other one doesn’t have. For example, Firefox has an amazing accessibility tool! My Chrome devtools tip If you hit Ctrl+Shift+P (while devtools are opened), you will be prompted...
My story is a bit different from the stories you have read so many times. I did not get my first web development job in 3 months. Not in 6 months. Not even in a year. My journey took 18 months, which were tough and frustrating but also exciting and amazing.My background, like many other self taught developers, is one that seems as far as possible from any type of technology. I have a Master’s degree in History. I worked as a guide in a museum, as a group facilitator in a non-profit organization, and as a teacher. I loved all of these roles. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have chosen to spend my time doing them.At some point I decided to change it all. I wanted to make a bigger impact through my work, especially in non-profit organizations. In addition, after living in 3 countries (in 3 continents) in 6 years, I wanted to start a career that would not require me to find a new job and even a new field each time I move.I didn’t need much research to conclude that technology can answer both goals. It can fill my passion to contribute in a (probably the most) meaningful way and it could offer me the freedom to move and relocate while continuing my work.I quit my great job as a teacher, left a nice salary and job security behind, and started to be a “full time web development self learner.” That was my title for quite a long time.I began learning web development by myself, thinking (after reading some impressive stories here) that all it would take...
How Natalie Sacked Her Web Developer And Never Looked Back “I HAVE HAD IT WITH MY WEB DEVELOPER!”, Natalie, Graphic Designer I met Natalie about 7 months ago at one of our courses in London. Her story was not a surprise to me as I have heard her story time and time again. What I love about Natalie’s story is how she threw herself into building websites because she simply had enough. “I HAVE HAD IT WITH MY WEB DEVELOPER!”, Natalie, Graphic Designer So what had happened? Why didn’t it work out? Out Of Control She had a really important client, you know the ones, they give you most of your money and you know you should spread your risk out by not relying on one big client, but this was the case. This was her best client and it is really important to keep them happy. They had a PSD of the website designed by Natalie and she outsourced it her web developer. The client asked for a really small change. She’d email the web developer and ask him for a fix and after a day went by he didn’t write back. So she emailed again. The web developer replied and said “i’m really busy at the moment, i can book it in for 2 weeks time”, to say that Natalie was peeved off is an understatement! She knew the fix would take less than 2 minutes for the web developer, yet he simply refused to do it. What’s even more annoying is that the web developer charged her £50 to do it! She was pretty much between a...
Becoming a web developer is a path littered with mental traps. Step carefully on the muddy footprints of those who walked before you. Three and a half years ago, I left my career in banking and started an infinitely more fulfilling career as a web developer. Recently, I compiled my story and the lessons I learned into an ebook called How To Become a Web Developer: The Career Changer’s Guide .If becoming a developer is your goal, here are some common traps to look out for. Scattershot Syndrome You’re going to get a lot of advice from experienced developers. They’ll tell you the best languages to learn, the skills you need, and the tools you absolutely must use. Their advice will be solid — and exactly the opposite of the advice you got yesterday.Don’t get lost in a sandstorm of good advice.If you are dabbling in a new language every month, switching text editors frequently, and jumping from resource to resource, STOP! You’re walking in circles.Language and tool choice feel very important in the moment, but in reality, they’re just details. Any popular language will get you where you need to be. The important thing is consistency.Pick one language and learn it so well you could write a book about it. Choose one resource and exhaust its usefulness. Download the simplest text editor you can find and marry it.Whatever you do, don’t waste time dabbling in a million different technologies. Nobody Here But Us Impostors Some days you’ll wonder if you’re really cut out for this coding thing.That feeling is called impostor syndrome, and it’s kryptonite for developers.Anything can...
This article is aimed at junior developers, but may interest anyone as a bank of useful tips on how to grow some good habits.I’m constantly trying to challenge myself and get out of my comfort zone.

Do technology watch. A LOT. “Technology watch” is the activity of keeping abreast of innovations in a given sector.There’s not a lot more to say, but in my opinion, it’s the easiest way to learn just by reading.
