Friday Links: Junior lessons, side projects, and AI
03 Oct 2025 #mondaylinksHey there.
Today I have 3 short links for you:
#1. Here are 10+ points a coder wishes he knew as a junior (4min). I can’t disagree with his take that coding is the easy part of the job.
#2. Not sure about finishing a side project or starting a new one? Ask yourself these questions (2min).
#3. I’m still trying to figure out how to use AI for coding. Here’s “an imprecise, slow and terribly painful way to get things done” with AI and what to do instead. (2min)
And in case you missed it, I wrote on my blog about 4 ideas to buildl a code review culture your team will love (4min) and how to preserve our loved one stories (2min).
(Bzzz…Radio voice) This email was brought to you by… Check my Gumroad store to access free and premium books and courses to level up your coding skills and grow your software engineering career.
See you next time,
Cesar
