"Shut up and start coding."
The premise is that the simple act of DOING needs hours clocked behind it in order to learn.
One of the best I got was "always keep complaining." If something does not work the way you want it, complain. Complaints are the first step to change, to a better experience, hence a better life. 🤪
I like to generalize it, though. In order to get what you want (high-perf laptop, good team morale, fast feature development, more money,...), be pro-active and take the initiative. Never stick with a standard or state (you don't like). Try for improvement and make your world a happier place.
By the way, the above motto did not only help me in my career, but also my life. I was able to explore many activities, cultures and I got to experience many things. I will do so in the future, too, even though it's exhausting sometimes.
This is a piece of advice I give to myself. Chase your dreams not matter what. Learn from the failures. Its never too late to start over again.
There are many that I came across but here are few practical ones:
Learn all you can, and can all you learn...
"You can't be a legend at everything right away", ie. it takes time and practice to develop new skills and you need the patience to get through the initial learning curve.
Don’t fall in love with your work!
It changed the way I think drastically. :)
There is no such thing as "I completed that certain language "
there is always more to learn
Keep it simple. If your solution is getting complicated, you are not on the right track.
Don't try to be someone else other than yourself. Being you is the only thing that could make you stand out in the crowd. People can spot when someone is being genuinely themselves or not. Try to get to where you want by adding your own character, personality, and touch to your path.

The bug you facing at the moment, someone else faced it, if not this year probably some years ago so learn how to ask Google about the errors you are getting and there is no magic you will definitely find a solution, and asking someone else to fix it for you might made you not understanding the source and solution just keep on googling 😊
