Ask HN: Programmers - from Good to Great. How do you make it?

11 pointsby bjoe_lewisalmost 12 years ago
After working on numerous projects, with a bit less of actual theoretical knowledge how will make your way from being a good programmer, to a great one?

I think you become great by accident, as a side effect of solving difficult problems with great tenaciousness and energy.

The first thing to think about is most &quot;great&quot; programmers wouldn&#x27;t call themselves so, they always feel like they can get better.<p>I feel that I&#x27;m good but nowhere near great, I have a comfortable job in a Sydney based startup and the times where I make the biggest leaps in skill is while I&#x27;m chatting to more senior devs in our office. They always have something to talk about and give me something to strive towards.<p>Hope that helps, if even in the slightest.
