In today’s video we’ll debunk 7 smart ideas that waste your time as a programmer. For each myth, we’ll look at why it’s a trap, how it lures you in and most importantly how to avoid mistakes I’ve made in the past.

Sounds good but I don’t want to waste time watching a video when I could just look at 7 lines of text within a couple of seconds

I don’t disagree with you, but Fireship’s videos are short and to the point.

  1. You need to use the latest tech to stay relevant
  2. Aim for maximum theoretical purity or pattern adherence
  3. You must adhere to Uncle Bob’s clean code rules at all times
  4. 100% code coverage is something that matters
  5. You should always optimize for performance
  6. You should always optimize for web scale
  7. AI is about to replace all programmers

I only really hear 3 (or at least, hear people imply it) in reality, and maybe a small nod to 7 recently. For 4, I see people think arbitrary numbers like 90% or 80% code coverage are things that matter.

Uncle Bob’s rules are bulletproof

Grog brain is better - grugbrain.dev

And it’s crap like this that gives junior programmers justification to output god-awful code because they don’t want to better themselves.
