🧵 "10 Mind-Blowing Concepts Every Programmer Should Know (but Most Don’t)"

Programming isn't just writing code—it's understanding the magic under the hood. Here are 10 powerful concepts every dev should know that will level up your skills 🚀 Let’s go 👇
Tweet 2/
Time Complexity (Big-O) Why does one solution run instantly and another crawls? Big-O tells you how your code scales—mastering it makes you write faster code with less guesswork.
Tweet 3/
Memory Management What happens when you new an object or create a list? Understanding the stack vs heap, garbage collection, and pointers is core to writing efficient apps.
Tweet 4/
Concurrency & Parallelism Not the same thing. Concurrency = dealing with many tasks at once Parallelism = doing many tasks at the same time Async, threads, and coroutines are just the beginning ⚙️
Tweet 5/
Git Internals Most devs use Git like magic. But knowing how commits, branches, and HEAD work under the hood turns you from “just pushing” to Git ninja 🥷
Tweet 6/
Design Patterns Don’t reinvent the wheel. Patterns like Singleton, Factory, Strategy, and Observer solve common problems cleanly—and scale better.
Tweet 7/
Dependency Injection Not just a buzzword. It’s about writing code that’s modular, testable, and loosely coupled. The secret sauce to clean architecture.
Tweet 8/
Docker & Containerization Write code that works everywhere. Containers are the future of deployment—know how to build, run, and ship them.
Tweet 9/
Test-Driven Development (TDD) Red → Green → Refactor Write tests before code to build more reliable software. It feels slow at first, but saves hours of debugging later.
Tweet 10/
Functional Programming Concepts Immutability, pure functions, map/reduce, higher-order functions—these ideas even improve your OOP code.
Tweet 11/
How the Web Actually Works DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP, SSL, APIs, REST, WebSockets… If your app touches the internet, you need to know the journey from browser to backend.
