“Coding is not enough.”
That’s what you as a developer may have thought counting digits at the end of every month. Coding is a well-paid profession, but more money never hurts, especially during a pandemic.
If you have ever wondered how to make more money with the coding skills you have, I’ve written this guide for you.
Please note: I decided to leave out side-hustles like freelancing or building applications because those are extremely risky or won’t probably pay you before a long time. …
Your 9 to 5 job is not enough.
Your 9 to 5 job is not enough.
This is a quote I repeat to myself every day of my life. And I love my job. I wanted to become a programmer since I was a kid. However, since I tried the benefits of having a side-hustle on my skin, I never want to go back to do one thing anymore.
Let’s see together what benefits having a side-hustle as a dev can bring to every aspect of your life.
You Shouldn’t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket
I hate to cite overused quotes, but unfortunately, this rule is valid. …
Spoiler: You’re trying to realize the impossible.
Do you ever feel like you still don’t know how to code despite a thousand attempts trying to?
Such feeling is the most significant struggle I’ve gone through in the early days of my dev life. You finish another tutorial, yet you still don’t feel ready to code anything by yourself. You drop a hundred dollars on that crazy course every coding influencer is talking about, but you still feel incompetent.
You live by hopes.
The hope of being a pro after this course, or the next one, or the next one again.
…
How I got taken away from my skills and passion.
Do you know why I hate coding tutorials?
Because I got sold an illusion, and it’s all my fault because I made up that illusion by myself.
I started coding when I was 14. I had nobody to guide me through all the info I needed to be successful. I bounced between one tutorial to another, buying endless Udemy courses.
I will be ready to be a professional after this course. I will become a senior React dev after this masterclass.
Guess what? That never happened.
I’m a happy professional web developer today, but let me told you why I…
The ten thousand hours rule is dead
To hell the ten thousand hours rule. You don’t need that much time to become a good coder.
Actually, you don’t need that much to learn any new skill, as Josh Kaufman taught me in his incredible book “The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything . . . Fast”.
In fact, the famous rule of the ten thousand hours needed to master a skill, as theorized by journalist Malcolm Gladwell, only refers to world-class performance. …
You’re sitting on a gold mine, but you still don’t know.
Money scares me.
It really does. Or, to be more precise, not having money is what terrifies me. What if I can’t afford to pay rent? What if I get sick and need cash for the doctor?
At the same time, I’ve always looked at my primary skill in life, coding, as a way out of this fear, something that could bring me close to financial freedom and being wealthy.
But how do you do that? How to turn your coding skills into money? How can coding be your way to financial freedom in your life?
Let’s see that.

1. Use replaceAll
Earlier, when using JavaScript, there was no way to replace all instances of a substring in a string without the use of the global regexp (/regexp/g). But now, things have changed thanks to the replaceAll method.
