Comment on Ask HN: Are authors of “how to be great developer” blogs great developers?

Comments

We all think there's things we need to work on to be better programmers, it doesn't mean that we're not already great programmers.

The real trick is to identify those things that will have a beneficial effect. In my opinion, being able to write tests well is an essential skill for any programmer.

Personally I think switching from Js to Ts won't have a big impact on your ability to program, but learning a new paradigm of programming will have big impact.

Very rarely have I seen a programmer where their typing speed has been their limiting factor - I have seen programmers type a rat's nest of code very quickly though :)
