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)
