Reflection on article: 29 Behaviors That Will Make You an Unstoppable Programmer

Three behaviors that resonated with me most:

  • Move Fast and Break Things! I belive that you cant let fear of failure or being less than perfect hold you back. It's important to give your best effort and keep moving forward, without getting hung up on doubts or every little detail.
  • Take responsibility for your mistakes! This one resonates because my Grandpa always used to say: "Admit your mistakes and don't bitch when it's your turn to pick up the tab..." Humility and honesty are especially important when working with a team. People will respect when you own up to your mess up, and are much more likely to help you fix the problem if you have the right attitude.
  • Absorb massive criticism with ease! Being open to criticism is crucial to learning. You can't take everything personally, and every failure is an oportunity for growth.

Chapters 1 & 2 Answers:

  1. HTML code represents the actual contents of the page and it's organization.
  2. An HTML element is a piece of content that lives on the page. A tag is what surrounds the contents of the element in the HTML code and defines what kind of element it is for the browser.
  3. Attributes give us more information about specific elements.
    • The <head> contains information about the page. Its contents will not be displayed on the page itself.
    • The <title> of the page is usually displayed at the top of the browser, or on the page's tab. It serves as the name of the page, describing it's contents and/or purpose.
  • The \ contains the page's content to be displayed in the browser window.
