For me:

Sometimes it doesn’t matter how hard you work, your going to get laid off either way.
Just showing up can sometimes make the difference.
Your not paid to be a software developer. Your being paid to be a problem solver.

    Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups. Always verify to make sure you(and others) got all the necessary information.

    You might worry that you’ll come across as inexperienced or unprepared, but people usually appreciate the effort. And it will save you so much headache down the line.

      Also, all real assumptions are invisible. The more things you realize were assumptions but are actually questions worth asking the better you actually are at that job or, if not better, the more experienced.
