Recently, I was telling my kids about this one time during college when some friends invited me to go check out a cave with them. It has been a long time, but I’m going to do my best to recall the experience here.

I've been going through some of my old code from college lately and I've been surprised by just how little I knew early on, even during my senior year. It made me think about the sorts of things that new programmers don't (usually) learn or that are learned best from mentors as opposed to from books or classes. In this post, I want to share concrete things that _I've learned_. No calling out other people here, this is all me.

TODO: Summary

I discovered "my year in books" a few weeks back and found it pretty interesting. The idea is that you plug in your Goodreads profile link and it will generate a nice view of the various books you've read over the past year.

It's a holiday break, my four year old is taking a nap, so I'm writing up a post on 2023. I'm also letting AI proofread. Here goes!
