How to become a great front-end engineer

Arguments Julia likes to evaluate:

1. "The longer I work on the web, the more I realize that what separates the good people from the really good people isn’t what they know; it’s how they think."

2. "Read other people’s code"
Solving problems on your own is a great way to learn, but if that’s all you ever do, you’ll plateau pretty quickly.

3. Work with people smarter than you

4. Reinvent the wheel 
But in this article I’m talking about how to go from good to great


5. Write about what you learn

 The best reason is it forces you to understand the topic better. Even if no one ever reads what you write, the process of doing it is more than worth it.
