5 Things you should not do in Software Development
1. Don’t rush     

Re-read the problem more than once. 
If it doesn’t make sense to you then re-write the problem in your own words and get it checked     
Ask questions if you don’t understand     
The first solution might not be the best     
 Break down the problem into smaller problems but try not over abstract 

2. Don’t panic     

Bugs can be solved     
A computer only does what it is told to do     
Others have come before you and others will replace you     
If you can’t think of the solution then walk away but always come back     
Software development is huge so take your time 

3. Don’t worry     

We all make mistakes. As long as you learn from them then you are improving     
Keep away from the trends and focus on what you are having fun with     
We all learn at different speeds and different levels.      
At the start, don’t worry about how long you take     
You don’t need to learn everything - you can’t 

4. Don’t over do it     

Learn to pump the breaks if you are reaching burnout     
Holidays are holidays.  Hands off the code     
Learn how to identify burn out     
Keep doing other things you enjoy outside coding     
Socialise with other coders out side of work 

5. Don’t over think it     

Over abstracting a solution is a very big and common mistake     
Its just syntax, just written in a different order     
Learn the basics first before jumping into the deep end     
You can learn by listening, watching, coding, and reading     
Keep a log of what you’ve learnt and look back at your progression
