Create a schedule & goals for the first 30 days Post-Graduation

29 Behaviors That Will Make You an Unstoppable Programmer

The biggest lesson I learned from reading "29 Behaviors that Will Make you an Unstoppable Programmer" was to hesitate less when I begin working on a project. Regardless of the project, I have a tendency to be intimidated by the blank page, and sometimes I allow this fear of doing something wrong prevent me from doing anything at all. The advice to "understand that code is cheap" and "move fast and break things" made me realize that it is more important to try something that I know isn't perfect than wait for the perfect idea to strike. I also enjoyed the reminder to "absorb massive criticism with ease." Although I have always taken criticism into account in the past, I have taken it too personally at times and allowed it to discourage me when it was only meant to be constructive. I have been working on taking critiques less personally, and it was good to be reminded that criticism is valuable to everyone.
