10 years of coding advice in 60 seconds:

use a debugger
you can’t cheat time in the saddle - get used to making mistakes
interviewing is the highest paying skill
it’s easier to switch jobs than get a large raise
do stuff that makes you nervous
build something outside work to keep your skills relevant
other people in the meeting are afraid to ask the dumb question you are afraid to ask
write tests
keep a brag document or you won’t remember what you did all year
leave the code better than you found it
never make people feel dumb - it’s bad for your career and your soul
if arguing about coding languages online worked - no one would be using JavaScript
marketing, design, sales, product and legal are just as important as your tech team - in many cases - much more important
understand if your team is a cost or profit center before the market turns
the closer you are to the data, the harder you will be to replace
there’s a lot of smart assholes out there - don’t be one
a walk outside solved more bugs than staring at a screen
be careful who’s advice you take 😉
