This is a wonderful post! Thank you for sharing the lesson's you've learned so far 😄

My highlights are:

5 Track & appreciate your
progress

This is something I've struggled with a lot while I got into development. I still don't really track progress, but looking back at what I've achieved it's remarkable to see how far I've come!

7 Take a break

I cannot stress how important this piece of advice is! Taking breaks ensures you are in a mental state that allows you to write code well. Think of it like this: you wouldn't be lifting weights for 8 hours straight, so why are we trying to force our brains to think about code for 8 hours straight without breaks in between.
