The Myth of the Genius Programmer


I've listed a few interesting note from my point of view

don't hide code, balance between spinning the wheel being lost and asking the person next to you every question that come into your head.

bus factor: having many people know the code in case the only person is hit by the bus, whether that bus comes in a form of a real bus or getting married, sick...
nobody sits down for thousands line of code before they compile...
u want other people see what u doing. you don't learn
"publish or perish"

give construct criticism. 
when failure comes, be ready for it. Document and learn.
fail faster so learn faster
practice 
don't try to be genious
collaborate early and often
brain crack: to roll out the idea
learn to be small fish, or looking around for big fish
