If I may, I'd like to add one more tip for our new and curious programmers:

It's totally okay to ask questions!

There's nothing wrong with admitting you don't know something, or wanting some help to solve a problem. It has helped me the most throughout my college career and allowed me to learn the most! Even going to someone to spar about a solution can give you insight in different perspectives.

Besides, most seniors love to share their knowledge to a new generation of programmers. Make use of it! 😄

Very true, I tend to make calls to get clarity on certain challenges. Sometimes I find that someone explaining to me helps me learn faster than if I were to read for a long time

Thanks for the tip, Rose
