I love reading things like this: Top ten things ten years of professional software development has taught me

Summary:

• “Object orientation is much harder than you think”
• “The difficult part of software development is communication”
• “Learn to say no”
• “If everything is equally important, then nothing is important”
• “Don’t over-think a problem”
• “Dive really deep into something, but don’t get hung up”
• “Learn about the other parts of the software development machine”
• “Your colleagues are your best teachers”
• “It all comes down to working software”
• “Some people are assholes (…) Don’t take this too hard”
