Amazing piece, thanks for sharing. The part that resonates most is to be more vocal and we will never know everything.

Great article and agree with most of the points. Here are my additions:

  1. I do take breaks each hour but I don't set a timer or anything like that. I tried the Pomodoro technique as well, the problem is, sometimes (rarely) I'm in the zone and I don't want to stop. Yesterday I sat down and cranked out a blog post in two hours, without a break. Rarely but it happens, so I don't restrict myself when to take breaks.

  2. I realized this almost too late but I'm glad I finally realized it

  3. Software is made to solve problems. This is really important to understand, especially for beginners wanting to try & push tons of things into a new project. I like boring, boring is good.

Great article. Another point that was a valuable lesson for me is:

"Don't be afraid to fail".

Failing is the fastest way to learn and grow.

When I started reading this article, I was "I love lesson 1, 3, and 5", but as I kept reading I couldn't keep track of all the lessons that spoke to me.

This is a very insignificant article, Oliver Jumpertz. Thanks for sharing 馃槂
