I will ignore time constraints and business concerns to uphold ideals that are not realistic.<p>I will be a workhorse and ignore the fact that I am maintaining legacy code, or writing software that ultimately cripples my resume and portfolio.<p>I will work beyond the 8-to-5 and it will not be to improve my craft, but to continue working on underestimated projects with low profit margins.<p>I will never stop trying to learn and improve my craft, and it will come at the expense of trying to balance every other important aspect of life whilst sacrificing some of them, such as family.<p>I will work predominantly with people who like ideals such as Uncle Bob's but produce work that cannot ever hope to compete against world-class developers and designers.
