These are timeless advice. I love that. I'm a 10 years developer as well (20 years coding as a hobby), and I agree with everything.

But, as you said, it's not because I have 10 years of experience that I know what I'm talking about :D

I specifically agree with this: Don't follow the hype.

I think it's really true. My take on that: if developers focus on the fundamentals, they won't have to follow the hype. It will be easy for them to adapt to new technologies if they need to, because everything is built on these fundamentals.

Let's take programming languages: they look all very different, but if you look closer, mostly the syntax change. The big ideas are the same, and if we know these principles, it's way easier to adapt.

It's a bit a shameful plug, but I'm trying to write a blog about that, if somebody is interested: the timeless fundamentals and tools we should focus on.

Thanks for that!
