πŸ“ŠWriting a technical book: calculating your writing metrics - The art of code How to calculate writing metrics for a technical book: writing speed, and creative capacity.

Second post in the series on writing a technical book.

This one is about writing metrics: how fast you really write, and how long you can write well.

Starting a blog series on writing a technical book β€” from cultivating the idea to testing and validating it before committing to a manuscript.

Here’s the first post πŸ‘‡

Behind every line of code, there’s more than logic.
There’s judgment, creativity… and a bit of craft ✨

1️⃣ Go just a little further than expected ✨
Not too far, because deadlines still existβ€”but enough. A clearer name, a stronger test, a small refactor, a thoughtful question. These small extras accumulate, quietly raise the quality bar, and naturally push you to keep improving.

2️⃣ Learn continuously and step outside your comfort zone 🌱
Progress rarely happens where things are easy. Growth lives in that narrow space where you’re slightly challengedβ€”but not overwhelmed.

3️⃣ Master the command line πŸ’»
Many tools expose their full power through the command line, and in some environments, it’s the only option. Knowing how to work from the terminal helps you debug faster, understand what really happens under the hood, and stay effective in any context.

4️⃣Manage your time⏱️
Quality matters but so do constraints. Being professional means delivering the best possible solution within the time you’re given. In the real world, quality and timely delivery go hand in hand, and professional judgment is about finding the right balance, not chasing perfection.

Over the years, through projects, teams, and many conversations with developers, I’ve noticed something: great developers are not defined by talent alone, but by the habits they build and practice over time.
Here are five habits that consistently make a difference for me.πŸ‘‡

Many developers say working with #AI is incredible and makes them code faster. I am working with AI too, so let me share my process:
1️⃣ Ask the AI how it would do it
2️⃣ Disagree completely
3️⃣ Close the prompt
4️⃣ Do it my own way
Repeat

Chronological timeline of past 50 innovations trying to replace developers with more advanced tools. Since Apollo, came COBOL, CASE tools, Visual Basic, low/no code tools, and now the promise with AI.

Chronological timeline of past 50 innovations trying to replace developers with more advanced tools. Since Apollo, came COBOL, CASE tools, Visual Basic, low/no code tools, and now the promise with AI.

The 50-year quest to replace developers

❌ 1970: COBOL
❌ 1980: CASE tools
❌ 1990: Visual Basic
❌ 2000: Low/No-Code
❓ 2020: #AI

Result? We need more skilled developers than ever.
