kdrnic's Caves of Qud beginner notes

The guide below I wrote mostly for myself as a "notebook" of info I found, but then slightly expanded it with stuff that may be useful to others.

As of finishing writing, I have 16 hours of CoQ playtime and have a level 20 character, definitelly still a beginner as well, perhaps a slightly seasoned beginner.

My previous roguelike experience included beating DCSS with a minotaur berserker and playing a good amount of POWDER on my celphone.

Justification

The game is a tad opaque. As this Qud denizen explains (I don't agree with his overall opinion):

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Programming Achievements: Suggestions from the GitHub Community

Last week, I published some ideas for leveling up as a developer. I put it on GitHub as a gist, and I encouraged people to modify the list to their liking:

Feel free to fork it and add more achievements. (Make sure they're measurable.)

Or, fork it and mark off the achievements you've already conquered. You might even flag the one that you're currently working on.

So far, more than 270 developers have forked this gist. Many devs have customized their forks as personal to-do lists (e.g., crossing off past achievements and highlighting the goal they're currently pursuing). A number of people have also added new achievements to their forks, indicating additional experiences that they
