Learn how to write and propose ideas.
Develop empathy with users and put yourself in their shoes.
Think ahead about how what you're working on is going to be used. If it requires a lot of steps, take out as many as possible before writing a single line of code.
Automate the crap out of everything you do, so it's a one-line command to build, test, and install it. Your future self will thank you.
