24. You only have 24 hours in a day. To make time for something new, you have to eliminate something old.
25. Don’t underestimate the importance of Slack. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
26. Participants who show up for group meetings are going to get more out of this than those who don’t.
27. Schedule regular 1:1 calls with us, even if things aren’t going well. A 15 min chat can have a big impact!
28. Ask questions! If something isn’t clear to you, and you don’t ask, you won’t understand the other things that build upon it.
29. If you don’t write any code, you won’t learn to write code. Type out every line of code!

31. Don’t let difficult topics discourage you. When the going gets tough, embrace the struggle. That’s how you’ll grow!

 If it ain’t fun, it ain’t worth doing.
