My “mentors” (or other people who influenced me) mostly taught me (a few different times) to expect more of my output. As a programmer that meant to spend more time thinking things through, write bullet-proof code (as much as I could) and to challenge my assumptions. I have now transferred to you 80% of what I got from them (though they definitely got those principles deeper into my being than I’ve just been able to do).
