Would like to cheer  in the name of growing-up :), getting bigger
picture .... and, at the end, design and implements useful software

I always have one copy of Murphy's law near me. Just do not forget
some crucial things and thoughts.

"If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways
can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it."
"If it can be shown that something that could have gone wrong did not
go wrong, then subsequent events will prove that everything would
ultimately have turned out better if that thing had gone wrong."
"Tolerances will accumulate unidirectionally toward maximum difficulty
of assembly."

hmmm..... maybe members of GNOME Team would read this accidentally :
