It feels like we can never learn enough in our field. As software engineers, calling ourselves an “expert” in any area just doesn't feel right. How could we ever know everything about a specific language or framework? Here's why I believe this is a good thing.

If you're a developer, I'm 100% sure you're using open source projects. Libraries, plugins, your programming language, maybe even your IDE or your OS. Let's take a quick look at why you should contribute to open source (even if it's just a little), and how you can do it (even if you're not a developer).

I didn't learn programming during my CS degree at University. Yes, we had programming courses. But even though I learned a whole lot about computer science, I didn't get my programming skills (which now pay my bills) from University. Here's how I learned programming, and what I'd do differently in retrospect.

You want to learn web development. And you wonder where to start.Frontend development, backend development, or should you dare to try learning both and become fullstack? Here‘s the advice I‘d give my 8 years younger self

You're doing one of the many programming courses and wonder: "How can I accelerate my learning?" Here's the approach I took.

Right now most of us work from home. Some people say the current crisis is not comparable to normal work-from-home. And they're right.

When I started my software engineering journey, I used my free time to tinker with personal projects. That was one of the best decisions I ever made, in terms of time well spent.

Is your code secure? Encryption, hashing, API security, SQL injections, CSRF, XSS, DOS, HSTS, RBAC, .... Oh my. When I started my programming journey, I didn't even know that I should care about software security.
