Thanks again Mazda. This list was awesome few ones that hit home were:
The golden rule is planning.
This is huge. Alot of companies either don't have sole project planners or the employees are wearing multiple hats and doing it themselves. From my experience, project planning and developers that can manage their own projects is the key to success. I'm just about finished with bit wordpress project and the first 1-2 days of it I did not write one piece of code. I dove into the designs and wrote requirements myself. Planning makes coding go smoothly.
Do not take criticism personally.
I was a pretty defensive developer when I got into my first gig after college. Any bugs, feedback, criticism that was brought to me was met with a negative response. It took me awhile to learn that I should be taking any and every piece of criticism as a potential chance to be a better developer. Yes there will be times when feedback is off or wrong, but if im consistently processing it, I know when the feedback is constructive and when it's nothing I should focus on.
You don't need to be great at math.
I'm average at math, but I'm probably a better problem solver than those who are a bit better than me in math. I wish I had a debugger for those complex problems in college though lol.

Thank you so much 🙏❤ I'm glad some points resonated 👍😉
All of them resonated! I wrote that late and if I kept going it would slowly transition to gibberish lol.
Hahah, thanks for reading 😀😀
