7 Habits of Highly Effective Programmers (ft. ex-Google TechLead)
Ex-Google TechLead presents a holistic, integrated, principle-centered approach to programming. The first 100 people to go to http://blinkist.com/techlead are going to get unlimited access for 1 week to try it out. You’ll also get 25% off if you want the full membership.
Over the years, you find that programming is a field littered with pitfalls. I’ve seen so many health problems in my colleagues. And mental burnout, low productivity, loss of focus, and getting lost in the weeds. For those lucky enough to have landed a job in programming, they are not out of the woods just yet. Learn my top 7 habits for being an effective coding machine.
I like the word habit here. A habit is a fundamental change in behavior and mindset. I think that’s the key — any short-term “tip” or “trick” can only yield short-term results. It is the long-lasting value of good habits that will power you through decades of coding. How many people do you know who have been coding for a decade and still manage to stay happy and healthy? Yep, just one (me).
Let me know your top habits in the comments below.

Im one of the victim programmer whonho is working with a manager who become manager coz he dont know what he been doing all those days
I've just realized that TechLead's job title was literally "Tech Lead".
Thanks so much. I really find it difficult to be lonely and work with friends. My compliment sir
penguinz0 in a parallel universe where he is a software engineer
"destroyed into the shape of a chair": That's an unusual expression. I've never heard it before. Good advice though.
He didn't forget his ex company till now ??
I want that screensaver… How do me gets that ?
The best programmer-youtuber ever…
that part from 2:50 to 3:20, so true.
You can do Yoga for healthy life.
Hello TechLead I wondered, recently I started spending quite a lot of time in front of my computer, it's a desktop connected to a 43" TV. Due to the fact that the screen is fairly big I sit around 2 meters away from the screen in a chair which is called "Poang" it's a very comfortable (non rocking version) chair from IKEA that supports your lower back as well as neck. The sitting position is a little different from a standard office chair but I've been spending around 8+ hours a day in it for the last few months and did not notice any problems. Do you think this is a good position to work or maybe there are some downsides? Anybody else who has experience regarding this subject is welcome to advise, thank you.
Ps. Keyboard with trackpad is on my lap.
As an introvert, I love the alone time it brings:)
thank you very much sir
So dark at around 3.00!
they burn out, "maybe some of them go off to start youtube channels…" 😀 😀 :D. very self-reflective 😛
–4:25: “Their bodies are destroyed into the shape of a chair.” Lol!

Hey, i also have Dell u4919dw 🙂
What do you think about Google IT certification?
Hes funny guy
I need that matrix screen saver in my life 4 real … ?
11:25 Musicproducers are also a very lonely bunch. As are many other artists such as painters, sculptors and stonemasons.
i think he's an ex google tech lead
TechLead: i have a good sleeping program
Also TechLead: drinks coffee from a tin can when dark outside
can you do a video on how to make an original comment on YouTube?
Tech Lead, you are matured.
I love it this video. Great Job !!!!
this is great advice for animators
"programming is such a lonely activity."
Introverts : is that a joke?
Amazing sir
He is sarcastically funny! ?
GFUEL MIXED WITH TYLER1 BLOODRUSH MIXED IN WITH PROTEIN POWDER AFTER A 5AM 3 HOUR FULL BODY WORK OUT WITH A COLD SHOWER BEFORE AND AFTER, YOU DRINK THAT AND THEN YOU POUR A PURE CUP OF STRAIGHT JUICE AND YOU ARE IN THE ZONE FOR THE WHOLE DAY.
How can 3 hours pass fast (in the zone) if you're taking a beak every 30 mins?
his videos are nice, but goddamn he seems like such an unlikable guy
Some of them burn out and become Data Scientists !!!
5:00 I surprised myself, that little tiny bug took me 1 day to fix. I wrote and deployed a serial to disk app for some guys in the exchange.
