What advice should I give other people based on my own life experiences? ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Same host - [The Ten Commandments of Egoless Programming](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3e6cea6cd5b5/) (blog.codinghorror.com, March 29, 2012) - [Please Don't Learn to Code](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3fbb49354a9a/) (blog.codinghorror.com, May 16, 2012) - [Coding Horror: A Visual Explanation of SQL Joins](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b5590466fe8f/) (blog.codinghorror.com, May 29, 2013) - [Getting the Most Out of PNG](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/14cb697f8852/) (blog.codinghorror.com, December 18, 2015) - [Is Your Computer Stable?](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e8e803b9e32d/) (blog.codinghorror.com, February 25, 2016) ## Saved the same week - [Sony Nex7 Test on the Cinestar 6](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3b185464bba5/) (vimeo.com, June 2, 2012) - [My Gettysburg oration: A vision for journalism that can long endure](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b7dd60a94a8e/) (stevebuttry.wordpress.com, June 3, 2012) - [You Are Not a Curator, You Are Actually Just a Filthy Blogger](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fb85d23b44df/) (theawl.com, June 3, 2012) - [Neil Gaiman: Keynote Address](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ce71ee41e3a2/) (uarts.edu, June 3, 2012) - [How to end junk news](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f134cd32a8d6/) (scripting.com, June 3, 2012) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://blog.codinghorror.com/how-to-stop-sucking-and-be-awesome-instead
