One of the most important lessons my parents taught me growing up was this: “We don’t expect you to come first; just try your best.” This simple yet profound advice has stayed with me throughout my life, shaping my perspective on everything I do—whether it’s raising my children, taking on long-distance running challenges, or excelling at work. For the past 24 years (yes, I’m feeling the years!), programming has been more than just a career for me—it’s been a passion. From early mornings to late nights, I’ve spent countless hours immersed in coding, and I genuinely enjoy every moment of it.
Today, as part of the Taqana team, I’d like to share how this guiding principle has influenced my approach to programming and how it helps us provide the best web and mobile development services.
For me, being a better programmer is about delivering optimal value—not just to my team but also to our clients. It’s about striving for continuous improvement, learning, and innovation. Here are the key lessons I’ve learned that inform my work every day:
