I'm an 18 year old developer. How do I become one of the best programmers ever?
Exercise, build and maintain relationships, eat well, stay healthy, travel, make friends, stay open minded, be humble, find balance and joy in your life so you don&#x27;t burn out at 25.<p>Learn the skills if you want. Go to school if you want. Get involved with open source projects.<p>But don&#x27;t let it take over your whole life. By the time you&#x27;re 40, nobody will really care if you&#x27;re the best programmer in the world. Your friends and colleagues will have their own lives. Businesses will rise and fall. Languages will come and go. Will you still be happy?
