Dev Principles
How to make the most of your software developer career and grow much faster than your peers!
+ One-Min Developer Guide that gives you insane advantages at work.
Pre-launch pricing.
Price will double at launch.
Why do some developers grow faster than others?
Because they code better?
You know that's not why.
You know there are 2 kinds of devs.
The ones who code
And the ones who get promoted.
There's a rare 3rd kind, though -
Someone who is a great developer and still gets promoted.
I want that to be you.
Playing along with your boss will get you one promo.
Maybe two. But then what?
I'll help you understand what it takes to be a senior developer.
I'm not here to preach or teach - I will give you real career steps that make you realize.
I will exactly outline what needs to be done at various stages in your career.
I will also tell you the pitfalls that developers face.
This course is your mantra for success.
I built enterprise software in India and the US for over 15 years and now run my own software company.
I still code at least 8 hours a day.
I started coding when I was 12.
That's over 20 years of coding.
The pandemic gave me time to reflect over the last 20 years.
I recalled and analyzed everything - what worked and what did not.
And I want more people to realize their mistakes early on
Saving time and earning more money
Most people do not realize the difference between a job and a career.
There's a new language or framework on the block.
And you're thinking it'll help you get your next job.
But soon, there's going to be another and another, and another.
How will you keep up your learning?
How will you focus on learning new things while also growing your career?
This is where the trap is.
Companies make you focus on your job, leaving your career to you.
And someday, everything just falls apart.
If I were to start over, this is the course I'll gift to my past self. If you are a software developer but still not earning more than 300k a year, you're not doing right. On the other hand, if you are a software developer wanting to become an entrepreneur, you need to understand these before starting your business.
A 6-figure salary didn't matter anymore.
From where I started in life, it was a LOT of money.
A former me would've told me that's enough.
But I understood the equations of why I got paid so much in the first place.
Then I craved for more.
I took my career into my own hands.
And when I was at the peak of my career growth,
I said, chuck it, let me build my own software company.
If I can do it, so can you. I started as an intern, just like many of you.
All it needs is perseverance and a few tips.
A year ago, I never thought of making a book on this.
But I was sure if there was someone who could, it was me.
I gave away this information for free - at least for whoever came to me asking.
What does this course have?
There are four parts to it.
In the first part,
Foundations,
We will discuss 4 foundational principles that you need to know.
Think of them as pillars for your career.
I came up with these after the entire thing was complete.
Because I had to think of the common factors across everything.
Break one of these, and surely, your career tower will shake.
In the second part,
The Bridge to the workplace,
You will understand how not to make rookie mistakes in your career.
I will explain to you the first principles that are fundamental to your growth.
And I will give you specific steps that you need to follow.
You should start understanding these the moment you land your first developer job.
But sadly, some don't get it even in their 3rd or 4th job.
In the 3rd part,
Code like a Pro,
In this part, I will focus on honing your skills and how it affects your career.
We will discuss what makes you a senior developer.
We will also discuss what makes you leap over the mid-level in your career.
You see, most developers spend an insane amount of time at mid-level.
And companies are happy giving small raises keeping them where they are
And you and I together, we will change that for you.
In the 4th and final part,
Career Accelerator,
We're going to look at ways you will always get what you ask for.
We will also see why some grow much faster than others
How to make jobs come to you rather than the other way.
How to continuously invest in yourself and grow
In all, we will understand how to have complete control over your career.
But wait, there's a little more,
Beyond the developer life,
It helps you understand the end goals for a developer,
and the possible options you have
and how you can stay worry-free forever.
And also have a newsletter.
I send you 4 emails every month with insanely valuable tips.
Normally, this is a paid newsletter.
But for a limited time,
If you buy my book, a paid subscription to the newsletter is free for you.
Some early reviews from previous colleagues
"I just wish I could read this 10 years ago. Would not have wasted so much of my developer life doing things that did not matter. Glad it will help other developers who are early in their careers though."
"Thank you for making this. I am just 20-pages through the book and can already see how the mistakes I am making are severely impacting my career growth at the company."
"Being a principal software engineer myself, I can vouch for every single thing that you have written in here. I am just glad that you could take the time to write it all in one place. Articulating these things is quite hard - especially retrospectively."
"Is this really the draft version? You've already covered more in here than what the career gurus will try teaching you in years."
"It's never too late to learn how to be a great developer. The book is a refreshing take on how to drive your career and not leave it in the hands of your boss or company."
FAQs
Is this going to help me?
Yes, this is a magic wand that will transform your career. But you will not grow by merely reading or listening to it. You'll still have to follow and live the principles and put in the hard work. And then, the course will work.
Is there a refund policy?
If you do not find value, you have 30 days to ask for a refund after purchase. No questions asked. If you are not willing to put in work from your end - don't buy.
It's pricey?
Compared to the mistakes you're making? I want you to take your career seriously, just like I take mine seriously. If I am good at something, I sell it, just like how I help you do it.
Who are you?
It really doesn't matter. As far as this course is concerned, the focus is on you, not me. I have a company to run full-time and hate any intrusion into my time and what I focus on every day. However, you can always reach out to me at devprinciples@gmail.com. I read every email and reply to it. Also, Pseudonymous Economy is the future.
