I saw a really good / fun post about writing a Hello World app by years of experience.
The first example was
print "Hello world!".
It gradually started adding functions, inheritance and other features with each year of experience.Then after ten years it went back to print "Hello World".
Thats been the reality for me. Understand the complex features of a language, but more importantly learn when they are appropriate.
Almost. I have tried to find it a few times but never been able to since I first stumbled upon it. The funniest part was the end result (the most experienced programmer) being exactly the same as the first - which this version is missing.
