These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

I've been coding professionally for a year now, having started work on the 30th of June. In that year I've programmed professionally in Ruby on Rails, R, and JavaScript / Coffeescript using both the Knockout and Angular frameworks.

I'd like to think I've become a much better programmer over the past year. Looking back at my old code, I can tell that I grew a lot.

Here's how I did it.

Spend Time Programming

This is a list of bands in and around the instrumental post-rock genre for everyone who wants to discover some new bands, some more, some lesser known. I am neither a musician nor a music journalist and this list merely reflects my personal taste. Go make your own if you don't like it. ;)

The Big Ones

Explosions in the Sky (EITS): Explosions are a great gateway drug to post rock. You can simply listen to any of their stuff and it's going to brighten your day. Their music ranges from truly explosive tracks like Yasmin the Light to the calm and beautiful Your Hand in Mine. For some reason, I like to listen to their records in reverse chronological order, but there isn't really one particular album, I'd pick out as best. Just dive in!
Godspeed You! Black Emperor (GY!BE): These guys sort of invented post rock. There is a lot of weird stuff on record though, but the actual music in between that weirdness

Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer

Rich Hickey • 3 years ago

Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.

A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:
