• Practice: Programmers should engage in daily, repeated practice to fill in knowledge gaps.
• Reinvent Wheels: The real world is not one-size-fits-all. Reinvent wheels to match your context and needs and trim away excess.
• Anti-abstraction: Abstraction is often an excuse to avoid dealing with messy reality. Work in the reality you're given, not imaginary abstractions.
• Memory: Thinking about memory management is an important skill, not an afterthought.
