Have you ever thought about what are the things that are common in all programmers? Maybe inflicting pain on ourselves while debugging. Well that is true but I don't want to dive in that topic (if you get what I mean ;-} ). I always thought that there should be something which binds all the programmers together. Programming language can't be one because different domains of programmers uses different languages.

To find out these secrets I decided to start a mission about finding "3 common things in every programmer ". Then after deep research with a large group of programmers (which consisted of 5 people ) I came to the conclusion about the 3 things which are listed below:

1) Stack Overflow

If you are a programmer and you don't know what stack overflow is then sorry to say my friend, you are not a real programmer (just kidding or am I ? ). In short stack overflow is the greatest gift bestowed upon programmers by two gods named Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky. Its basically a question answer site for programmers. This is such a huge resource that you will probably get all your questions answered even before asking because you will see a lot of other people have already asked the same question 5 or 6 years ago. This site is a stress reliever and makes life a whole lot easier for every programmers.

2) Coffee

In the long run of your programming journey this will become your best friend which will cheer you up with its every sip no matter the day or time. In this deserted life as a programmer it is very unlikely that you will make a lot of friends but even if you do, they might betray you some day. But coffee will never betray you unless you drink it 24/7 and get a cardiac arrest due to over-excitement.

3) Google

This is that one thing that many people hate to admit but everyone does it. From how to print in python to how to use for loop in C++ we have all been there. No matter how much experience you have and what skills you posses you are prone to use google for finding the most stupidest answer. Just like yesterday I forgot what is the import statement of React despite having 1+ years of experience in it. Things like this happen all the time so, if you are a beginner and feeling imposter syndrome which googling the solution then just read my example and carry on with your work without any shame.

So, for now that is all. There are a lot of common things that I couldn't cover in this topic but I felt these 3 things are the absolute necessary. If you have other common things in mind then make sure to comment down below. This blog is written in a comedic manner so, don't get offended by anything I said because who am I?
