Never program and drink beer at the same time.

Being lazy is costing you so much money

Therapist: where should we start? Programmer: 0 Therapist: no

"Junior/Mid/Senior" titles are usually bs. The same person can be a mid level dev in company A and a senior developer in company B Remember this next time you believe you shouldn't apply for that job.

Shaw’s Principle: Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it.

When you are learning programming, it looks like nothing makes sense until suddenly everything starts making sense Remember this the next time you want to quit because "you just don't get it"

"Smart" programmers are the dumbest programmers.

This is the only time in history where you can learn the skills you need to get a 6 figure job from the comfort of your house.

A degree in computer science does not make you a programmer.

Think about this The best developer you know And the richest developer you know Are not the same person

Getting started with programing is 10000 much more important that "what language do I learn first?"

I have 2 moods: 1. I'm a badass developer 2. I can't code to save my life

If you can't realize when good enough is good enough, are you a good programmer?

If you are unwilling to pay $30 bucks for a book to learn a skill that can make you 6 figures, Are you really going to put the time it takes to learn that skill, even if you get the book for free?

Some people are "talented enough" to write poor code in any language

Focus on ONE THING AT A TIME: - A technology, not 5. Ex: first HTML, then CSS, then JavaScript, then ... - 1 language, not 7 - A fundamental concept (functions, classes, loops) - A paradigm (OOP, procedural) Then, focus on COMBINING them to build applications

It's a beautiful day to start writing cleaner code

Writing code to make your colleagues think how brilliant you are is the stupidest mistake a programmer can make.

Just because you don't like a technology is no reason to say it's shit
