I think #1 is: Rule #1: Software is a social service. If you're not writing for the user, but rather for the sake of writing code, you're not a good programmer. Write for the user, whether that user is Joe Sixpack or Jane Hotdev, or even if you are the user - assume the role of servicing the end user. Software is a social service.

Is every job a social service?

  Pretty much. The money to pay for the work, has to come from somewhere. Usually that is a person/organization/society. But software specifically is social, because software is useless without a user.
