Being a developer is not an easy thing, it takes a lot of brainpower lots of energy and time. Here are some ways to code faster and make the time you spend on coding faster and more enjoyable.
Know your editor of choice
The more you know your editor the faster you will be able to code. Know shortcuts are highly beneficial as you don't have to spend time thinking, like okay click here for the terminal and here to open a new terminal tab, but when you know your shortcuts you can be like command space and something.
Use plugins for your editor and language
Using plugins will help you boost your production speed. For python and javascript use kite which is an autocompletion tool. Plugins will help you type less, read less documentation, make fewer errors, and enjoy what really matters. coding.
Use a good keyboard and learn home row typing style
The most used hardware other than your computer while coding is your keyboard, having a good keyboard will help you type faster, I bet you will find excuses to type on the keyboard. Learning home row typing style essentially removes the extra step of looking down at your keyboard and after time it will be second nature to your, where is l oh I know where it is I memorized it. This also removes the use of thinking where is that key on the keyboard oh there is it is it's next to l and below p and p is next to o, I think.
Have a good space to work in
Having an environment that you can feel comfortable working in and enjoying the space will always keep your mood up and will motivate you to code more and work harder.
