Thanks for this article. I hadn't seen it before. I must say I agree with it wholeheartedly. When I started, I self-learned a language or two, but I had no mentor to teach me good programming practices. I had to learn everything the hard way. I still have to maintain systems from those early days with enormous technical debt. I am happy to mentor juniors to save them (and their users) from those same mistakes.
