1. Learn in public

If there's a golden rule, it's this one, so I put it first. All the other rules are more or less elaborations of this rule #1.

You already know that you will never be done learning. But most people "learn in private", and lurk. They consume content without creating any themselves. Again, that's fine, but we're here to talk about being in the top quintile. What you do here is to have a habit of creating learning exhaust. Write blogs and tutorials and cheatsheets. Speak at meetups and conferences. Ask and answer things on Stackoverflow or Reddit. (Avoid the walled gardens like Slack and Discourse, they're not public). Make Youtube videos or Twitch streams. Start a newsletter. Draw cartoons (people loooove cartoons!). Whatever your thing is, make the thing you wish you had found when you were learning. Don't judge your results by "claps" or retweets or stars or upvotes - just talk to yourself from 3 months ago. I keep an almost-daily dev blog written for no one else but me.

Guess what? It

import time
# This is how we import "modules", what's a module?
# A module at its simplest, is another script - what you are reading, is a script.
# when we import 'time' we are saying 'let me access everything in that script'
# this lets us 'call' or use any function or method within that script - with a caveat.

string = 'This is a string'

Restart Xorg

Sometimes my Mint 17 workstation lock screen freeze's preventing me from logging in. Restarting Xorg fixes it.

Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (restart xorg)

This will kill all applications and launch a new instance of the desktop.
