A collection of (mostly) technical things every software developer should know.
:point_up: These are resources I can recommend to every programmer regardless of their skill level or tech stack
Highly opinionated :bomb:. Not backed by science. Comes in no particular order :recycle:
U like it? :star: it and share with a friendly developer! U don't like it? Watch the doggo :dog:
P.S. You don't need to know all of that by heart to be a programmer. But knowing the stuff will help you become better! :muscle:
P.P.S. Contributions are welcome!
