It is about PHILOSOPHY: culture of a GOOD programmer - Second Edition

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.
Even though technical skills are a very positive thing, other qualifications are really more important: 'features' like respect, honesty or humility are required to become a better person and, thus, a better professional.
This is not an easy path to follow, and in order to accomplish it, let me share experiences on how to be a better programmer. Let's have a walk!
