__Whats app everybody!!!!!!!!!!__ 

Sorry I was a little too excited, What's up everybody. How's everyone doing? I am fine too. OMG, thanks for asking 💕❤

So, If you clicked on this blog I'm sure you also want to be an awesome developer and improve yourself just like every developer wants to be including me. I know when we start our wanna-be "A Software Developer" journey how hard we try to learn things, create projects, looking for freelance work, and preparing for interviews to get a job as a Developer. 

You land a job by putting the hours and hard work. You are extremely happy and proud of yourself for achieving your goal of becoming a Software Developer. But till this time you had only worked from your home sitting in your bedroom not knowing what Pair Programming is, How to rebase your branch, What is a Pull Request, What is Daily Standup, What is Story Grooming, What is a Jira Board, I have to write documentation of code? and Why the hell is everyone writing unit tests for their code etc. OH GOD, I couldn't breathe writing the previous sentence.

So, the gist here is that you became a Software Developer but now you need to improve yourself as a Software Developer. And this starts with finding a mentor, who will guide you on the dark path of becoming a Software Developer with his Torch of experience. But the sad reality is that not every developer finds an experienced mentor at his/her workplace.

But Don't Worry, I saw this tweet thread from [Sarah Dayan](https://twitter.com/frontstuff_io) in which she shares 10 takes from his software development journey after working in the industry for 10 years (Seriously 10 years 🤯, Btw Sarah once again fan of your [website](https://sarahdayan.dev/)). So I liked the thread very much and thought why not create a post sharing those 10 points of her with all the dev community so we can also apply these things into our development journey.

__So, Let's jump straight into Sarah 10 points from her 10 years journey in the software industry.__
