Great article! I see my journey in a lot of your points. I can look back and see pretty clearly the ignorant overconfidence that comes with a few early successes -- the Dunning-Kruger effect. As well as falsely attributing someone's actions to malice rather than the unintentional circumstances they actually were -- Hanlon's Razor.

Your tips are spot on. But the person has to want to improve. For some of us this only comes after failures, when we realize our strategy doesn't work, and something's got to change. So if you can hear me right now, learn from the post's advice rather than by experience... it's much easier for everyone involved including yourself. :)
