Udemy – Think like a Senior engineer By Ahmed Shamim Hassan

Most developers learn programming languages, frameworks, design patterns, and how to write code. However, one of the most important skills in software engineering is rarely taught: how to think through a feature before building it.

In real-world software development, seemingly simple features such as coupon systems, OTP verification, search functionality,  username management, or social interactions can contain hidden business rules, edge cases, security concerns, scalability challenges, and user experience considerations. The difference between a junior implementation and a production-ready solution often comes down to understanding these hidden complexities before writing a single line of code.
