10 Step Program for Developers

Andrew Oliver lays out the 10 Step Program for developers.  Here's his points:

1. Blog
2. Go open source
3. Not six months, not 10 years
4. Eye on the new stuff, hands on the practical
5. Write your own documentation
6. Brevity is the soul
7. Wow the crowd
8. Be realistic
9. Solve the hard stuff, know the tools  (hmm.. isn't that two points?)
10. Practice humility

This blog post is my practice of points 1 and 6.  And also one of my own:

11. Copy the work of other smart people
