   Make a point to work with the best programmer in the company (or best that you can get to work with), rather than working with the portion that is inferior to you.

   I can't speak for him, however as a programmer speaking to other programmers, I find Slack is pretty nice primarily for these reasons: Pasting code snippets, preserving formatting and getting syntax highlighting. Pasting screenshots, u

    This is also why "rubber duck debugging" works. Once you explore all of the edges while writing/taking things through, you often find what you were overlooking before. Same for why teaching works to increase the knowledge of

    I did the first 50 problems, and then cherry picked another 15 or so. At some point the math was beyond my knowledge, and I didn't find much fun in researching it. I'm a fairly normal web developer, in my own estimation.

    Depending on the shop, working for a software shop can do this for you. If the work is not all urgent, it's perfectly reasonable to contract with them and do some extra work in the evenings. I've done this before with good results

    No, it's not, but he didn't say it wasn't--the "virtually no" refers to what he does other than paying that $5/day.

    I don't think your time would be wasted. Might help your negotiations, or else you just got started more quickly than you would have otherwise.

    I sympathize with OP a little when he says "it's hard to meet people." I used to be very much that way. Bartending for a couple of years helped me get over it. That said, I've been going to the gym for quite a while, and
