I started blogging about web development in 2002, and quickly found that explaining things to other people helped me understand them better myself.

Curiosity and playing with things. Fuck blogs, events, books. Play has always taught me more than anything else. There is no substitute for direct experience.

Fail lots. You can learn a lot from other people, but the best way of getting better at anything is to make mistakes.

When you find something that you find interesting take the time to figure out why. It lets you learn from other peoples' experience and understand your own bias.
Everyone I respect is incredibly passionate about what they do, with the chops to argue their corner when needed, but with enough humility to know when they’re wrong.Steve Marshall
Do what you enjoy, and find enjoyment in everything you can.
