Learn how to work with people. Even difficult people. In fact, especially difficult people. Learn how to learn. Learn how to read documentation. Learn how to write documentation. Learn how to debug. Learn the scientific method, and how to propose a theory that could explain some behaviour you’re seeing, and then propose tests that could disprove that theory. It’s not a theory if you can’t propose tests that could potentially disprove it. Learn to discover what your limitations are, and how you can improve them. Learn to know when to not overcommit yourself, and to say “No” when you’re asked to do something you’re not comfortable with. If you can do all those things well, then you’re doing better than I am.
