Going about your career as a maker of software.

A sort of long winded read, yet he does make some pretty decent points as far as your contribution to a company and not under estimating yourself.

Dont call yourself a programmer

90% of programming jobs are in creating Line of Business software: A ton of people making social media software would have a fit reading this.

Engineers are hired to create business value, not to program things: Hard concept to grasp if your not ready

Don’t call yourself a programmer: At previous jobs i've watch many a programmer basically lay themselves off by not following these instructions

You are not defined by your chosen software stack: A few friends make fun of me for liking Java but it gets the job done even if it's not as glam as C#, If Python will get my task done faster then Ruby bring it on.
