2/7 You will write fuzzy code you don& #39;t understand; then spend countless hours changing it at random to get it to work. You will be embarrassed of code reviews. You will get a reputation that you don& #39;t understand what you& #39;re doing.
3/7 You will shy away from perfectly tractable problems because you don& #39;t feel they& #39;re within your reach. You will jump into intractable problems and waste everyone& #39;s time and your own. You will create unnecessary disasters and make a fool of yourself over and over again.
4/7 You will be the last to get hired and the first to get laid off. Your compensation will be a quarter of what it could have been. But much more importantly, your will have inadequacy in your heart.
5/7 It will sap your confidence. You will be afraid of technical interviews. You will always have an ambient fear of programming. You will convince yourself that it& #39;s interview jitters and "impostor syndrome". But in your heart you will know your fear is justified.
6/7 Eventually fear will turn into dread. You will convince yourself it& #39;s burnout. You will take breaks but it won& #39;t help. You will start hating coming in to work. And then you will wash out of the industry and always wonder what could have been.
7/7 Rigor is not beneath you, nor is it obsolete. Ignore the fundamentals at your own peril.
