The answer is, that no rule of universal application can be given, as all persons do not require the same measure of sleep, and also the same persons, at different times, according to the strength or weakness of their body, may require more or less.But my decided advice, at the same time, is, that children of God would be careful not to allow themselves too little sleep.

I. How much time shall I allow myself for rest?

1. Waste of time, which is unbecoming a saint, who is bought by the precious blood of Jesus, with his time and all he has, to be used for the Lord. If we sleep more than is needful for the refreshment of the body, it is wasting the time with which the Lord has intrusted us as a talent, to be used for his glory, for our own benefit, and the benefit of the saints and the unbelievers around us.

II. But why should I rise early? Why can’t I stay longer in bed?

2. To remain too long in bed injures the body. Just as when we take too much food, we are injured thereby, so as it regards sleep. Medical persons would readily allow that the lying longer in bed than is needful for the strengthening of the body does weaken it.

To Stay In Bed Too Long Injures The Body

3. It injures the soul. The lying too long in bed not merely keeps us from giving the most precious part of the day to prayer and meditation, but this sloth leads also to many other evils. Any one need but make the experiment of spending one, two, or three hours in prayer and meditation before breakfast, either in his room, or with his Bible in his hand in the fields, and he will soon find out the beneficial effect which early rising has upon the outward and inward man.

Staying In Bed Too Long Injures The Soul

1. Commence at once, delay it not. Tomorrow begin to rise.2. But do not depend upon your own strength. This may be the reason why before this you may have begun to rise early, but have given it up. As surely as you depend upon your own strength in this matter, it will come to nothing. In every good work we depend upon the Lord, and in this thing we shall feel especially how weak we are.3. Do trust in the Lord for help. You will honor him if you expect help from him in this matter. Give yourself to prayer for help, expect help, and you will have it.

III. But how shall I set about rising early?

a. Go early to bed. If you stay up late, you cannot rise early. Let no society and no pressure of engagements keep you from going habitually early to bed. If you fail in this, you neither can nor ought to get up early, as your body requires rest. How much more important still is it to retire early and to rise early, in order to make sure of time for prayer and meditation before the business of the day commences, and to devote to those exercises that part of our time when the mind and the body are most fresh - to obtain spiritual strength for the conflict, the trials, and the work of the day.

In Addition to The Above, Use the following means:

Or procure, what is still better, an alarum, by which you may regulate almost to a minute the time when you wish to rise. Though I have very many times been awakened by the Lord, in answer to prayer, almost to the minute when I desired to rise; yet I thought it well to procure an alarum to assist me in my purpose of rising early: not indeed as if it could give the least help, without the Lord’s blessing, for I should remain in bed notwithstanding the noise of the alarum, were he not to give me grace to rise; but simply looking upon it as a means.

Let Someone Call You

c. Rise at once when you are awake. Remain not a minute longer in bed, else you are likely to fall asleep again.d. Be not discouraged by feeling drowsy and tired in consequence of your rising early. This will soon wear off. You will after a few days feel yourself stronger and fresher than when you used to lie an hour or two longer than you needed.e. Allow yourself always the same hours for sleep. Make no change except sickness oblige you.

The Habit Of Rising Early

When I do not understand a passage of the word of God, I lift up my heart to the Lord, that he would be pleased, by his Holy Spirit, to instruct me, and I expect to be taught, though I do not fix the time when, and the manner how it should be; When I am going to minister in the word, I seek help from the Lord, and while I, in the consciousness of natural inability as well as utter unworthiness, begin this his service, I am not cast down, but of good cheer, because I look for his assistance, and believe that he, for his dear Son’s sake, will help me.

An Example Of Faith In Action

Do but stand still in the hour of trial, and you will see the help of God, if you trust in Him.

But there is so often a forsaking the ways of the Lord in the hour of trial, and thus the food for faith, the means whereby our faith may be increased, is lost. This leads me to the following important point. You ask, How may I, a true believer, have my faith strengthened? I. As the increase of faith is a good gift, it must come from God, and therefore he ought to be asked for this blessing.

Strenghtening Our Faith - First Step

1. If God has become known to us through prayer and meditation on his own word, this will lead us, in general at least, with a measure of confidence to rely upon Him: and thus the reading of the word of God, together with meditation on it, will be one especial means to strengthen our faith…

Practical Things - Step 2

The above step is true because His almighty power and infinite wisdom have been actually exercised in helping and delivering His people; and we will repose upon the willingness of God to help us, because we have not only learned from the Scriptures what a kind, good, merciful, gracious, and faithful being God is, but because we have also seen in the word of God, how in a great variety of instances He has proved Himself to be so.

Knowing Him More Strenghtens Our Faith

2. It is of the utmost importance that we seek to maintain an upright heart and a good conscience.Every trust or distrust cand result in increasing our faith or in decreasing our faith. Either we trust in God, and in that case we neither trust in ourselves, nor in our fellow-men, nor in circumstances, nor in anything besides; or we do trust in one or more of these, and in that case do not trust in God.

A Good Conscience

Continued the step above -> Therefore, do not knowingly and habitually indulge in those things which are contrary to the mind of God.Because in the end, all my confidence towards God, all my leaning upon Him in the hour of trial, will be gone, if I have a guilty conscience, and do not seek to put away this guilty conscience, but still continue to do things which are contrary to the mind of God.

A Gulity Conscience

3. If we, indeed, desire our faith to be strengthened, we should not shrink from opportunities where our faith may be tried, and, therefore, through the trial, be strengthened.The more I am in a position to be tried in faith with reference to my body, my family, my service for the Lord, my business, etc., the more shall I have opportunity of seeing God’s help and deliverance; and every fresh instance in which he helps and delivers me will tend towards the increase of my faith.

Looking At The Opportunities Where Our Faith May Be Tried

4. The last important point for the strengthening of our faith is, that we let God work for us, when the hour of the trial of our faith comes, and do not work a deliverance of our own.Yea, however weak our faith may be, God will try it; only with this restriction, that as, in every way, he leads us on gently, gradually, patiently, so also with reference to the trial of our faith. At first, our faith will be tried very little in comparison with what it may be afterwards; for God never lays more upon us than he is willing to enable us to bear.

Let God

Now, when the trial of faith comes, we are naturally inclined to distrust God, and to trust rather in ourselves, or in our friends, or in circumstances. We will rather work a deliverance of our own, somehow or other, than simply look to God and wait for His help. But if we do not patiently wait for God’s help, if we work a deliverance of our own, then at the next trial of our faith it will be thus again, we shall be again inclined to deliver ourselves; and thus, with every fresh instance of that kind, our faith will decrease;

Working With A Deliverance Of Our Own

Whilst, on the contrary, were we to stand still in order to see the salvation of God, to see his hand stretched out on our behalf, trusting in him alone, then our faith would be increased, and with every fresh case in which the hand of God is stretched out on our behalf in the hour of the trial of our faith, our faith would be increased yet more.Would the believer, therefore, have his faith strengthened, he must, especially, give time to God, who tries his faith in order to prove to His child, in the end, how willing He is to help and deliver him, the moment it is good for him.

Trusting In Him Alone

How to strenghten our faith

Most people’s short-term actions don’t align with their long-term goals.They desire a high-paying job but don’t put in the hours. They want cut abs and toned glutes but skip their workouts. They aim for financial freedom, but waste 5$ on Starbucks everyday.Achieving your dreams is pretty simple — get clear about what you want and how to get there. Then, work on it day after day.Success is a marathon, not a sprint. You can’t achieve goals overnight, but take a small step every day and you’ll get there.Little strokes fell big oaks.

Think in decades, act in days.

Culture Hierarchy of Needs

When team members are distracted because they don’t have the appropiate tools to do their work, it becomes difficult for them to contribute at a higher level.

1. Tools for the job

What is expected of me?As leaders, you need to provide clarity for:<ul><li>shared purpose and goals</li><li>organizational structure</li><li>defined roles and responsibilities</li><li>values and behaviors that define success for the team</li></ul>This will give members a security and will define their role and place on the team.

2. Organizational clarity

In order to find synergy and alignment, team members need to build trust and respect for one another, be self-aware and others-aware, and feel like they can actively bring their best work.Basically this brings value and trust which leads to high commitment and an active contribution.

3. Psychological safety

We are designed as humans for community. We are designed to do life with others. How can a leader enable this?Building organizational rhythms that allow for connection and create a culture of mutual commitment and accountability.But it’s important here that we don’t create false harmony or toxic positivity. We must lean into the principles of healthy relationships where candor ( the quality of being open and honest ) and integrity drive our interactions with one another.

4. Connection

You cannot force anyone to find personal fulfillment in their work, but you can create an environment that fosters it, by atrenting to the first four needs and thereby setting stage for this one to be achieved as well.When team membes are fulfilled, they are fully utilizing their gifts with a team which they love, doing work that is fulfilling. And the awesome part is that this fulfillment is contagious - it is actively reproducing in the other members. They notice other team members at different stages and are personally invested in helping everyone on the team move through the stages.

5. Personal fulfillment

The Great Quit can be conquered and turned into a great opportunity, Here is how to do that.

Let’s imagine every one at a high-school age can get the car of their dreams. You can pick it out, any colour, you name it.What’s the catch?That car is going to be the only one you have your entire life. Now what are you going to do, knowing that, that is the only car you will have?You are going to love that car, your going to take care of it. How does this apply to me?You’ll probably get more than one car in your life, but you’ll only get one body, one mind and one soul. And that’s all your going to get. And those probably feel terrific now, but they have to last you a lifetime.

They exist to improve the software development lifecycle.How?<ul><li>By adding a layer during which one of your co-workers can catch bugs in your code, that you might not have caught.</li><li>Can catch improvements in your code that could make the code more maintainable and scalable.</li><li>Can catch style guidelines that could have been better followed.</li></ul>

Why code reviews exist?

﻿The code review process should not be thought of as some sort of assignment or test that your are passing.﻿

Now, the review process adds an extra layer to your work. It gives you as a developer more work to do and kind of slows you down.So, your goal should be to make the process as frictionless and as seamless as possible and to make it as conducive its own goal ( you want to make sure that it actually accomplishes the “Why” from the first idea ).

Your goal in code reviews

1. You don’t want to send ( if possible ) a thousand lines of code up for code review at once. It’s much harder to review, takes a lot of time. That means that you must divide your code to isolated pieces of logic.2. Leave a good description on itYou want to give context to the person or the people who are going to be reviewing your code. (the fix that solved the bug, maybe point to the issue or give a good title for the PR or a snip/ video for the visual change that you’ve implemented).3. If the diff checker looks “weird”, leave yourself comments on your PR to clarify*Not commenting your code

3 tips for submitting code

1. Leave clear comments, over communicate them if necessaryScenarios: When you suggest a change, make sure they understand what the change you are requesting is. Or when you don’t feel strongly about a comment that you left - in order to talk about it. Or maybe you want to sanity check (is this what you are doing here?)2. Establish a set of rules or standards for approving the PRs with your teamThis will offer a much clear experience. Ex: you will all approve the code that doesn’t have a bug in it.3. Don’t waste time on huge chats, know that the conversation can be better talked outside

I'm an Ex-Google Software Engineer, an Ex-Facebook Software Engineer, and the CEO and co-founder of AlgoExpert (algoexpert.io), a website that helps Software Engineers prepare for coding interviews.

After graduating with a degree in Mathematics from the University of Pennsylvania in May 2016, I decided to learn programming and to enroll in Fullstack Academy, an immersive coding bootcamp in New York City. While there, I fell in love with full-stack development and algorithm analysis. Upon completion of the program, I dove deeper into the field of algorithms and aced the Google interviews. The frustration that I felt during my interview prep led me to creating AlgoExpert.

Code Review Best Practices For Software Engineers

The user is not an expert. My doc doesn't require me to know the difference between low-density and high-density lipoproteions. Don't assume user should know what kind of browser they use or what is the best flow to use the app. But yes, no matter how much you think of it, sometimes the user demand feature that seem pointless and he can have difficulties with functions that seem to be self-explanatory.

1. The user is an idiot

Clean code, unit tests, great documentation - these are undoubtedly important things. It's good to have the desire to be the Good Programmer.But they can affect development speed. "We can think about the future but forget about the present."It is great to make code which it can be easily understand by others and which can be scaled easily. But it is even better to finish projects successfully. After all, programming is not art.

2. My code is an Art and has to be Perfect

In many cases, your next project is more or less similar to previous ones. It would make no sense to spend a lot of time learning new tech since you already have proven solutions. But sometimes, it can be the wrong decision to make.It can easily become your comfort zone and it can make you avoid better solutions for your current project.

3. I'll use 'X' for this project because I know it

It can be challenging to plan every detail of the project. From a product manager view you have to think about the limitations of the technology, you have to think about users who will use your product, you cannot forget about business and marketing requirements and so on.Sometimes, some of the requirements aren't known at the beginning; sometimes business circumstances change, and sometimes you have to build something first to figure out it can be done better.Important note: product managers make mistakes as programmers make bugs.Instead of trying to show how wrong they are, you should focus on finding solutions.

4. My product manager is wrong, I would do it better

Isn't only about technical skills, but more about to understand what is the value you can bring to the company and how to do it. A senior developer isn't someone who knows every aspect of the tech. It is a person who will help the company build a great product, even if this requires to cross a border of their comfort zone. Solutions over problems.

A good programmer

I was working as a programmer for over five years. It isn’t impressive since some of you probably have three times longer work experience, but I liked to think of myself as a senior developer. That…

4 Mistakes I Made as a Programmer, but I Had To Become a CTO To See Them

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:7-8Well, first let’s see how the love of God was shown to us -1 John 4:9 says: “This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.”Why is this act an act of Love?We didn’t love Him ( maybe only its blessings ), he loved us when we were still sinners. His Love was so big that He sent His only Son to die for our sins - read the Gospels for more on this. He didn’t do this because we worshipped Him, or listened or obeyed Him, He loved us because He is Love.

Love is from God, why & how?

When we’ve realised this, we feel in a way guilty. And this feeling of a debt is increasing in us so that we start to love our neighbour.“No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.” - 4:12 - can you see the connection?We know that his loves is made complete in us when we love one another, truly. Yet we did not see God we know that this kind of Love is not from a human heart.

So what?

This is a kind of disappointing statement, but it’s true and you know it. You know how weak and selfish we are.This fire that now guides our soul, to sacrifice, to humble, to love, it’s called the Spirit of God.“This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.” - 4:13

Not from a human heart...

“Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.” - ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:20‬ ‭NIV‬‬Simple right? Walk the talk - only that we ourselves cannot walk this talk on our own.That’s why I’ve mentioned the Spirit of God previously. He is the one that fires our soul for this talk.disclaimer: ‘it is not like: “yo Spirit, fill my soul up, I am going out”. This is not Love.”

How can we be certain?

When God pours out his love, our parched lives are revived and our thirsty souls satisfied. What is the secret of receiving more of God's love and of giving it freely to others? The book of I John calls us back to the basics of loving God and one another. Do you long to experience God's mercy and goodness in deeper ways and extend them to others? Would you like his love to fill you up to the point where it overflows naturally into the lives of others? This study of I John will help you and your small group experience the refreshing rain of God's love in ways you have always wanted. New Community Series -- a high-impact tool for experiencing the transforming power of God's Word. This cutting-edge series lets you explore life-changing topics from a biblical perspective in community with others in your small group. Challenging questions encourage you to reflect on Scripture and its impact on your life, both as an individual and as part of a community of Christ followers.
