Philosophical:
* writing lines of code is one of the least valuable things I can do
* cultivate your impatience
* reject the status quo, unless we can re-derive it from first-principles 
* engineers imprint on the first languages (techniuqes, frameworks or technology) that we find success with (unconsciously seen as caregivers, which we defend w/o always knowing why)
  * we tend to overvalue the familiar/known; we tend to undervalue the unfamiliar/unknown, this interferes with our receptiveness to new ideas and personal growth
* we're 90% composed of bad habits; many of our best habits become bad as time passes; this allows us to filter for the fundamental; the great
* make doing the right thing easier than any other thing, or we will fail to achieve greatness, or break bad habits
* be conscious, be intentional 
* "is this the highest we can aim?" (I prefer this over "is this the best we can do", the former is aspirational, the latter is judgemental)

Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns                     on recent CPU
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns                     14x L1 cache
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns                     20x L2 cache, 200x L1 cache
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs 4X memory

This tutorial as a series of videos

If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.
