I was ready to crap all over this--I've seen so many of these kind of posts--but this was (IMHO) quite good. There's a ton of (as the kids say) alpha in each of the bullet points.
I can't say that I practice all or most of these habits, but the points about "calling your shots" and "concrete hypotheses" resonate. For example, when I add a debugging printf/log, I always ask myself, "will this output invalidate one or more hypotheses?" If not, then I need to rethink the problem.

- cybrox 3y agoAgreed, these are surprisingly on point. The flow of 80/15/5 is what true seniority looks like in my opinion. Do a lot of the heavy lifting on a goal, explore valuable (and sometimes promising but with a stretch) avenues around that goal and then be able to document and articulate in a way that another person can grow into it while you venture forth into the next challenge.
