* Be cautious of conveniences. That which you depend upon binds you and limits you. Your code cannot execute faster than the layers underneath it.
* Step away from what you know. I spent time running security audits and on a different occasion became the company A/B test engineer.
* I was promoted to senior for doing less work. I would finish the days work in the first two hours of the day and spend the rest of the time writing side projects.
* Learn something foundational. I learned XML Schema and wrote an original markup language before I learned to program. Jumping into JavaScript I already knew all about the DOM better than most JavaScript developers.
* Don’t start your career with an investment of time in frameworks. This makes you a less desirable hire to many shops of variable maturity. If you want to level up you have to be willing to put the pacifier and baby bottle down even if it makes you less attractive at first glance.
