I LOVE your article Emma! Very well done. The whole list is great.
Some thoughts I had while reading:
"...7. Name variables and functions appropriately..." There are two real problems in computing: Naming things Cache invalidation Off by one errors
"...17. Don't gate keep..." IMO, programming has room for everyone. From toddler to retired.
"...51. Kill your darlings..." I tell anyone I can '...when the code leaves your machine, it is not longer your code. Let it go."
"...64. Learn design patterns..." Of everything I know today, I wish I knew this sooner.
