What's up devs! How are you doing?

Last week I did a post highlighting underrated blogs that I thought could use more attention. I enjoyed that, so I thought I'd do it again this week!

Let's take a look at this week's picks!

Disclaimer : I'm doing this out of my personal motivation. None of these great authors/bloggers asked me for any promo. I still think they deserve a shout out, so here it goes. Oh, and the order I listed the posts in is totally random, by the way.

Pick #1

Here's a friendly yet much needed reminder from @malteriechmann : Learn the basics! I highly recommend all code newbies to take a look at this one. It's a short blog, yet oh-so powerful!

But first, learn the basics

Pick #2

@kaspermroz did an awesome job documenting his learnings on this Einstellung effect! Einstel-whut?! Yeah, das ist ein deutsches wort! (I'm not fluent in German whatsoever...yet ). Take a look at it, I'm sure you won't be disappointed! Tell Kasper I said "Hi"!

Pick #3

Guess what? I've found another blog covering TDD this week! Yep, that's right! This time @theowlsden gives us a pretty neat non-technical intro to the subject. Go read it, what are you waiting for?

Pick #4

@lukaszreszke begs us to please stop talking SQL. Huh? If you, like me, are wondering what he means, go take a look for yourself! Ah, and be mindful of your soft (i.e non-technical) skills!

Pick #5

And last, but certainly not least: @smeetsmeister dropped 4 (yes, FOUR!) lessons learned as a starting Scrum Master. This blog right here is a pot of gold on its own!
