Are you spending your time wisely as a software developer?
In this video, I share how I borrowed Rob Moore’s 70/20/10 rule and adapted it to help you grow faster and smarter in your software development career.
✅ 70% – Focus on fundamentals and high-ROI learning that compounds over time
⚙️ 20% – Invest in skills that boost your productivity in your current team
🧪 10% – Experiment with cutting-edge tech to stay ahead of the curve
If you want to stop wasting time and start making intentional progress in your career, this simple framework will help you focus your energy where it matters most.
👇 Let me know in the comments: What does your 70/20/10 breakdown look like right now?

Want to Level Up Faster? Say YES to These Two Questions
If you're serious about accelerating your career, there's a simple test:
✅ Do you have a mentor guiding your journey?
✅ Are you mentoring someone else to solidify your growth?
If the answer is no to either, you're likely missing out on one of the most powerful ways to grow faster, smarter, and with more impact.
In this short video, I share why mentorship (in both directions) is a game-changer. Not just for technical skills, but for confidence, visibility, and long-term success.
🎥 Watch the video, reflect on your mentoring journey, and take action today.
