Seven Principles That Will Boost Your Developer Productivity
summary
Seven concrete practices to get code done: use IntelliJ live templates and refactor shortcuts (Ctrl‑Alt‑M) to avoid typing, automate builds/tests with shell scripts and zsh aliases (three‑strike rule to decide what to script), keep turnaround under ~2s using hot‑reload with Open Liberty, prefer keyboard-centric editing (vim motions) and a mechanical keyboard, treat infra/config as code, use flight mode and focused windows to cut interruptions, and schedule breaks because rest boosts long‑term output.
