- Become proficient in Vim or Emacs - Get comfortable on the command line — it's almost a running joke now that modern tools are often outperformed by awk/sed/grep/cut/etc - Go through the book 'Seven Languages in Seven Weeks' — You won't thoroughly learn those seven languages, but you will learn how to learn programming languages - Get good at recognising hype and reducing marketing language to their core ideas. This seems especially applicable in the JavaScript world (though this may just be my confirmation bias speaking) - Get good at accurately defining the problem you intend to solve. This would seem so fundamental that it isn't worth mentioning, but you'd be surprised how often people jump to "Ah! An excuse to play with shiny new framework/tool/languge/whatever" before knowing what it is they're solving Most of these seem quite fundamental, but you go an awful long way in this industry on fundamentals. |
