  1. To ignore my friends who thought computers were boring and picked up coding at 8 years old. Hid my passion, but did it anyway. Didn't know it would be my future career.

  2. Apply for my first senior job at 21...even though I felt I wasn't anywhere near ready (at this point I was developing software professionally for 4 years in the corporate world, but still a young'un). I got it - it immediately opened doors and boosted my confidence.
