Discussion on: What are the five (or more) things that a new developer should know and practice ?

[Randall]

1. Learn to read documentation
2. Learn to use the REPL (depending on the language)
3. Learn to use breakpoints and other debugger features
4. Learn to pay attention to details in code. Compilers do not forgive typos.
5. Learn how to ask good questions (show your code, explain what you want it to do, explain what it does instead, explain what you have tried).
