How to become a dramatically better programmer
There&#x27;s one piece of advice specific to programming which is missing from this listing: Read lots of code in lots of different languages. Aim to read, as a general rule, about <i>twice</i> as much code as you write, and to be able to read <i>twice</i> as many languages as you write in typically.<p>Edit: The average piece of code is written <i>once</i> and read <i>hundreds</i> to <i>thousands</i> of times by people. It&#x27;s not unreasonable to think of code as a read-oriented activity, not a write-oriented activity.
