The heart of Computer Science
Algorithms
To be a good programmer is required to have minimum understanding of algorithms. For this reason, sometimes, I solve small problems in HackerRank. For demo and learning purpose, I implement some javascript algorithms in github.
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.
Learning
I enjoy learning, and every year I read a new books, take new courses. I like Coursera, and the last course that I take is Front-End Web Development with React . The most difficult was to finish Algorithms Specialization by Stanford University.

Nothing ever becomes real 'til it is experienced.
Experience
I start working in 2005. I worked with a lot of languages an technologies. In my career I see 10.000 line single page scripts (php without a function or a class), and I take advantage to learn how to refactor, test and stabilize this code.
Thank's to this I read some good books: "Working Effectively With Legacy Code" by Michael C. Feathers, "Test Driven Development: By Example" by Kent Beck, "Refactoring : Improving the Design of Existing Code" by Martin Fowler
