I dunno, trying to independently rediscover what’s in The Pragmatic Programmer doesn’t seem like the best way to learn. At least not the fastest. Every one of these is covered by lessons that OP didn’t have to learn themselves if they had just paid attention to the guidance available from luminaries in the field. This leads me to the one lesson I’d give instead; let other people do your work for you, whenever you can. #13 on this list is far too strict, you’ll spend your days maintaining commodity code and discovering for yourself all the pitfalls someone else could have just solved for you. If you’re looking for the definitive version of this, definitely check out The Pragmatic Programmer.
