###17. Pair program with people with more experience. I did this recently with a friend and really enjoyed hearing the process of him coding a game. I watched him get stuck and talk through his process of working it out through using google and other means. At first I was wondering how helpful all this would be, but afterwards, I realized that building a program is more than knowing how to write code. There is constant problem solving.
###27. Go play foosball. That's often more important than coding. This resonates with me because when I first started working in the live entertainment industry, I felt I needed to work myself in to the ground. Climbing helped me become aware of my boundaries to the extent that I know when I am fatigued because I made mistakes. Nothing wakes you up more than falling from missing a hold. Translating that to work, has helped me tremendously by allowing myself to break when I need it.
###28. Learn under pressure. Is it possible to love pressure? There are two types for me, one that I can predict the answer and the other where I cannot. Having some base knowledge to solving a hard problem, I really enjoy. With coding, I feel somewhat lost. I want to strive to be at the place where I have some knowledge to help me solve a problem. At that point, I will probably love solving them.
