The importance of habits

When it comes to just about anything, habits matter more than skill or intelligence.
The best developers I know—the ones I look up to and learn from—aren’t naturally gifted geniuses who just “know all the things.” They’re people who’ve built habits.
Nearly every day, they learn a little something new. Nearly every day, they share a little something new that they learned.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Keeping up with everything in our industry is impossible.

When it comes to just about anything, habits matter more than skill or intelligence.

The best developers I know—the ones I look up to and learn from—aren’t naturally gifted geniuses who just “know all the things.” They’re people who’ve built habits.

Nearly every day, they learn a little something new. Nearly every day, they share a little something new that they learned.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Keeping up with everything in our industry is impossible. Trying to do so is a great way to burn yourself out.

Whether you’re brand new to coding or a seasoned professional, building a habit of small, incremental “micro-learning” is an effective way to never get bored and keep your skills growing without feeling totally overwhelmed.

This is one of the core learning principles in the Vanilla JS Academy workshops. A few short lessons, and a project to apply what you learned. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
