* Learn how to learn.
* Admit when you don't know something and then rectify it (if it's interesting to you).
* A stable solution is better than the bleeding-edge solution.
* Smaller (simpler) is better. (KISS)
* Learn how to gauge technical ability in a conversation with someone and compensate for that on the fly. Non-techies will love you.
* 80hr weeks will not make the company love you. They will only make everyone else in your life dislike you. And eventually, the people at the company.
* Shop around. You don't have to take the job offers but keep interviewing. You learn as much about yourself as they learn about you.
* Find a problem-space you love and develop it. Tech is tech but business is business. Finding an area that you like to solve tech problems in will make you happy.
* Don't make technical arguments personal. Make your point, with facts, let them make theirs. Agree if you're wrong.
