* Write less code, read more than you write. Read more tips, manuals, blogs, articles, watch presentations and listen to podcasts about your programming craft. Learn from others prior to writing bugs. As with culture and and knowledge, you are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you spend time with, the conversations you engage in.

* Do your research, don't always rush in coding or in reinventing the wheel. You will learn a lot through research. * Do your research, don't always rush in coding or in reinventing the wheel. You will learn a lot through research.
* Take a little time before taking action / reacting to a task/request/message. It allows you to think more about your answer / action.
