Think longterm

Progress is up and down in this career. Don't pay attention to the short intervals. Lonterm gains are clearer.

Avoid FOMO

Fear of missing out on different technologies can be paralyzing. Have fun with what you're currently into and realize you can catch up later with the rest.

Don't make apps for your friends and family

Seriously. Everyone wants you to partner with them on something. Try to manage their expectations.
