Comments

A very important nugget of wisdom is at 27:18. In short: it's very useful to be creative w/ other people, but you have to be supportive even if you disagree. Don't tell people "no" or that they are wrong. Provide constructive redirection.

I watched this last week, and this was my big takeaway. Programmers too often want to argue about what is right.
