Totally agree with everything you've said there. However, if I could counter your "need to improve" comment, I'd simply say that whilst I 100% agree that too much ambition has a negative effect, a couple of achievements here and there is good for the soul. Good programmers should be able to balance a desire for progress with their ability to step back and appreciate their current skills. That being said, I think balancing that is much easier once you've mastered the mindfulness techniques you mention in your article. Learn to walk before you can run. Thank you for your support. :)
