@__mharrison__ I did.

I would've read Kanat-Alexander's "Code Simplicity" sooner.

I truly think it may be the most crucial code learning resource there is.

I'm thankful for all other books. They give information/knowledge about usage of tools. Code Simplicity, however, teaches wisdom.

@mkanat just ended reading "Code Simplicity", great ready: simple and easy to understand, just as code is meant to be! 👌🏼

Sometimes you have to choose whether to be “nice,” or actually say “no” to doing the wrong thing. Keep in mind, it is not actually kind to deliver bad products to all your users, just so you can be “nice” to one person.

It's always important to understand your users and the problems they actually have.

In developer tools, it's easy to assume you already know the problems, because you're a developer. But often, it's surprising to discover what developers' actual pain points and requirements are.
