[Michael Drogalis @MichaelDrogalis]

Things I wish I knew as a 22 year-old engineer:

1. Software engineering is mainly about people, not code. Technical expertise will only take you so far.

2. There's a time to hack together a house of cards and a time to build a masterpiece. Learn the difference.

3. Prioritize simplicity, not cleverness. Most code is read many more times than it's written.

4. Sales, marketing, and other departments do equally important work to engineers. Respect them.

5. The most important engineering ideas are timeless. Don't obsessively learn the latest tech.

6. Engineers who can write and make complicated ideas simple have outsized influence. The IDE isn't the only place to do valuable work.

7. Code only matters if it solves a real problem for a real person.
