Every Programmer Should Know :thinking:

A collection of (mostly) technical things every software developer should know.

:point_up: These are resources I can recommend to every programmer regardless of their skill level or tech stack

Highly opinionated :bomb:. Not backed by science.

Comes in no particular order :recycle:

U like it? :star: it and share with a friendly developer!

U don't like it? Watch the doggo :dog:

*P.S. You don't need to know all of that by heart to be a programmer.

But knowing the stuff will help you become better! :muscle:*

P.P.S. Contributions are welcome!
