├─02.read the error
│ the stack trace is trying to help you. let it.
├─03.own the outcome
│ blame doesn't fix bugs. accountability does.
├─04.simplify ruthlessly
│ if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough
├─05.learn in public
│ writing things down forces you to actually understand them
├─06.tools are tools
