demystify the mystical

Contextualize

Always, at every moment.

think of yourself as a
developer

Identify and destroy your hangups.

don't overcomplicate your work

Write simple & boring javascript

Vanilla code as much as possible.

Make it easy to understand.

go for the simplest solution first

It's clever not to be clever.

be solid

Don't write 'short-term' solutions.

 

know git

It's not just a tool to 'get things done'

Know javascript

Continually learn JS to become more effective

Read: 'Effective JavaScript' by David Herman

know your ecosystem

Git, JS Libraries/Frameworks, CSS, Node, Build System
 

Be a generalist!

don't overcomplicate
your learning

don't memorize frameworks,
understand & recognize
patterns

growth happens with

time, exposure, & experience

There's nothing 'instant' about this journey.
