This is an incredible thread. Thank you all for sharing.

For me, a good programmer realizes that "everything is code". Like, sometimes it's easy to think X problem is too hard for me or I don't have enough experience or this bug is unfixable but end of the day, it's all just code. You can change it however you want and if someone else did implemented something before, it's highly likely that you'll be able to do the same. Having a level of distance from the code one writes really helps.
