The secret to success is failing in rapid enough succession before getting a thing right that nobody realizes that what you did wasn't easy.

If you have to wonder whether you can do a thing then you've lost. Why have you so limited yourself that you are no longer self assured? Do.

If you would be a master of some thing, then act as a master does. One day you will suddenly realize that you are no longer acting anymore.

People are more complex and more important than code. Take time and tell someone how you feel. They may not know, and it's good to hear it.

If fixing one thing breaks another; have you thought to check all of your assumptions, or only your leading suspect? Sometimes less is less.

Problems are your canvas, be not afraid of them. If you're afraid of one then you have forgotten that it's just an assembly of small issues.

As a master of code you only deal with self created complication. If you have not reached the core problem then cut, brutally, till you do.

It's good to be wrong. Don't feel shamed. Wear past mistakes as a badge of honor because growth is everything. To stop learning is to decay.

As developers our job is to embrace an ever changing landscape. Insisting on being rigid we rob ourselves of possibility. Un-limit yourself.

Idealism is a good thing, don't kill it. At the same time over-indulgence makes petty tyrants of the noblest people. so too with intentions.
