Legit lessons but deep inside I feel bad because after 10 years in this industry I found that no one listens to anyone, it's sort of a culture. One thing I don't listen to anyone is "clean code". When I see a job description "something something .. clean code" I always think "by whose authority?". Of course we shouldn't write a huge terrible function, but your a-lot-of-indirect-calls looks clean but it's not. it's 4 level deep to investigate something.
> Domain knowledge is more important than your coding skills
This is where I wholeheartedly agree with. As I'm tired of cargo cult, playing tools, solving puzzles for fuck sake. I pick a domain knowledge first when I want to learn a new language to see what I could write some useful (to many people) thing in it. Tldr; you as you go help the others, not just learning sake.
