25-year programmer here. This very much resonated with me. Agreed on almost all points. Notice it has a direct correlation to Peter Norvig's Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years [0] and a distant correlation to Paul Graham's Bus Ticket Theory of Genius [1]. More broadly, it's like Zen Buddhism's idea of _Shut up and sit down_. Keep doing, keep working instead of talking and thinking. Talking and thinking is only to convince yourself and others, which may not matter so much; salvation lies in the doing ultimately. I wrote a poorly worded piece on this(non-native speaker here) in case one's interested [2].
