Why do we fear failure?

We all know failure happens when we don't succeed at what we intend to do. It's a fear that can inhabit our personal or professional lives or even both simultaneously.

Although it’s scary to investigate the root cause of your fear of failure, it's a necessary step to overcome it.

Four potential causes of fear of failure:

1. Our upbringing: Our parents might have been critical of our actions as children. Perhaps they never supported our dreams and passions, or they never let us forget our failures.

2. Experiencing traumatic events: Some traumatic events scar us for life, causing us to avoid any situation that reminds or could remind us of those incidents.

3. Being bullied as a child: Maybe other kids teased us for not being good enough, which taught us that our failure is a joke or leads to mockery.

4. Low self-esteem and confidence: If we don't believe in ourselves, we'll accept that all we're capable of is a failure. Our negative self-talk will overrun our brains and convince us to fear the failure of all kinds.

You should be proud of your efforts and hard work. Rather than limit yourself to only doing things you know you'll do perfectly, accept that mistakes happen. That’s how you learn. A growth mindset teaches us to see the value in making mistakes. You can either view failure as the end of the world or as a learning opportunity.

Failure isn't rare. Even the most successful people fail and continue to fail.

Our fear of failure is often reflected in our behavior through our actions and choices. The most notable behavior is self-sabotage, which stops us from taking any sort of action. Self-sabotage results from extreme anxiety.

Research has found that fear of failure causes people to experience anxiety and learned helplessness and underachieve on goals, and reduces resilience. This encourages them to protect themselves, which may fall under the category of self-sabotage.

How to Keep Yourself Motivated as a Software Developer

A lack of motivation is a mundane and troublesome issue that affects almost everyone.

Sometimes you feel like life is pointless or get depressed and you just feel like you’re not going anywhere.

This general sense of disparity happens to people from time to time and it is very common in a world that moves very fast.

Human nature is a complex amalgamation of distinct characteristics and we, as humans, tend to fall into despair and hopelessness when we feel like we aren’t making any progress.

If you want to motivate or inspire someone, make them feel like they’re making progress.

Every day that you’re playing you are always making some sort of progress even if it’s a little bit. You are making your way to the next level.

So how can you stay motivated?

Simple Steps to Continuous Self-Motivation
No matter what’s happening in your life, always have one thing you’re moving forward with, so you feel good about it and yourself.

It can be great to have multiple such things but it’s wiser to have one core thing you’re progressing on.

You can change it later, of course, but it’s important not to divide your attention between several other endeavors.

Every page you read, every podcast you’re listening to, and every line of code written is a step forward, that’s something you should look forward to. It’s progress.

The more of these things you can find in your life the less despair you’re going to feel.

You’re going to be more hopeful because you’re making progress, you are getting somewhere.

You can do it!

Tips on How to Become a Great Software Developer

It's very simple - only experts in their professions can achieve outstanding business success! Therefore, instead of being an average worker who is easily replaceable - become a great Software Developer.

The role of a Software Developer is very demanding. You need to identify, design, install and test a software system, but also to maintain and update it to ensure its full security and smooth functioning.

Hence, you need to know more than one development language.

You need to be capable of critical thinking and problem-solving, but also to understand your client's needs and present them with your ideas. You also need to be creative and strongly dedicated to your profession if you want to become a great Software Developer.

Keep in mind that the software you build for companies needs to work smoothly and continuously, without any disruption or errors. So, make it simple, yet effective and secure. The code must be well written and easy to check, maintain and update, but also easy to fix if needed.

If you get stuck somewhere, don't be afraid to ask your colleagues what to do next. Fresh ideas can clear your mind, allow you to learn something new or find an error you haven't noticed. So, communicate and collaborate with others as much as possible.

Don't forget to recheck your work before delivering it to your clients. It's very important that your work is perfect, as in this way your reputation rises, as well as the number of your clients.

In any case, don't be afraid to make mistakes, but learn from them. Each mistake should be a new lesson for you!
So, even when you think that you have learned all the skills, don’t stop there, but upgrade your knowledge constantly and test it in practice. Your commitment to reaching an expert level will surely lead you to success.

Programming vs Coding vs Development – What's the Difference?

A lot of people use the terms "programmer", "coder" and "developer" synonymously. But do these three terms mean the same thing? Well, not quite.

What is Programming?
Programming is making decisions or telling the computer what decisions to make under different circumstances. Once you've clicked the red button, you can program a computer/browser to access data and make a network request.

Programming makes use of your critical thinking skills and ability to solve logical problems.

What is Coding?
Coding encompasses the following topics and activities:

- programming languages;
- a language's syntax and how it differs from other language's syntax;
- code arrangement;
- code optimization;
- debugging;
- writing and running tests;
- creating and using libraries and frameworks and so on.

You can be a programmer without being a coder, but you cannot be a coder without being a programmer.
While a programmer simply has to think and build a logical framework of decisions for the application, a coder has to implement that logic with a particular programming language in a standard, efficient way.

A coder has to become familiar with code syntax and be up-to-date with newer and recommend ways of writing code.

A coder has to be good at technical tasks like testing, debugging, and so on.

Code is simply the language a machine understands. To implement an application, you have to take the set of instructions created by a programmer and make it understandable by the machine. That is the act of coding.

What is Software Development?
Software development is a process of writing and maintaining the source code, but in a broader sense, it includes all that is involved from the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, sometimes in a planned and structured process.

Software development may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products.

As you can see from the above extensive definition, development is bigger than just programming and coding. It’s all about creating a solution to a real-life problem by building an application that solves that problem, maintaining that application, marketing it, researching mays to optimize it, and so on.

Development is the full package.

Making a clear distinction between these three terms can help you learn software development faster. It'll help you know what to prioritize in your learning. And it'll let you look at the whole process of software development from a different perspective.

On a lighter note, it can help you avoid awkward situations with developers :)

How to coach your team to success?

Coaching is one of the key components of managing modern employees. With the fast pace of industry changes and the almost monthly need for new skills, it’s essential that you help your team learn and grow regularly.

We’ll take you through the top five ways to coach your team to success and become a great leader in the process.

1. Emotional intelligence
If you can level with people, understand the issues they may face in their role, and be sensitive to possible opposing outlooks, you’ll be far better equipped to help your people overcome barriers and work together as a team.

2. Know each individual’s strengths
Coaching isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. It’s important to tailor your focus to the person you’re interacting with. Each member brings something unique to your team. Your job as a manager is to find out what each person’s strengths are and help them develop these coaching skills with a tailored plan.

3. Ask questions
Really listening to your employees' feedback and tailoring the next steps around their answers shows you value your people and are prepared to help them reach their goals. The coaching you provide should aid them on their road to the professional development process.

4. Empower them
Once you know what your employees’ skills are and where they want to go, it’s time to help them put those skills into practice. Begin by giving each individual responsibility for tasks that will help them develop in their key areas. The best way to learn is by doing, and the more autonomy you give them, the more you’ll demonstrate your trust and confidence in their abilities.

5. Feedback is key
Providing effective and real-time feedback is the most important element of becoming a great coach. It’s not only important to be timely with your constructive feedback, but also in recognizing and celebrating achievements.

With looming deadlines, shifts in focus, and new projects always on the horizon we know that it can be tough to stay on top of your coaching responsibilities. Don't overlook the power of positive feedback.

Top Web Architecture Trend – Serverless

Servers
What will happen to the web development architecture in the near future and why you should consider serverless architecture?

Serverless architecture
This approach implies two kinds of architecture:

- BaaS (backend-as-a-service) – applications with a large share of the server side stored in the cloud. Standard functionality in this model is usually provided in the form of SDKs or API gateways, and all necessary actions are performed in the cloud. Responsibility for software and infrastructure maintenance lies with the software development partner – the BaaS solution provider.

- FaaS (Functionality as a Service) – a third-party platform for developing, running, and managing functionality that runs parts of its code, guided by event triggers (the desired functionality called on demand). The approach is perfect for implementing microservices.

The Difference
Serverless architecture – uses cloud environments: that is, there is still a server, but it does not belong to the owner of the site or application but is used by someone else on demand. As soon as a trigger event occurs, the serverless functionality launches – operations are performed in the proper sequence. Then the serverless platform runs many ready-made algorithms and rules, does the necessary calculations, and outputs the result. After that, the functionality is minimized, waiting for a new request. Serverless architecture is particularly relevant when you need to optimize the cost of resources and development time.

Microservices architecture – an application is divided into small components (microservices) which have a clear purpose, are easily replaceable, and can interact with each other while being loosely bound. Usually, containers like Docker are used to create microservices, which can be used to get the data you need upon request to a particular API.

It has its advantages:

- rapid application deployment because you don’t have to worry about architecture and infrastructure – just write your code;
- cost reduction: no more need to spend resources on maintenance of servers and databases, the launch of the product is faster and cheaper;
- scaling: if the usual “physical” server is no longer enough, adding another or moving to a more powerful – one is quite a challenge, but with a serverless architecture, there are no such problems;
- the data is relatively “safe” – they are not as afraid of all sorts of attacks as in the case of the traditional server-based approach to building sites and applications.

On the downside, it isn’t easy, especially when migrating current solutions to a serverless architecture. It can also be potentially expensive, although the advantages include resource savings.
