Keep It Simple, Stupid. Make a design document that states the intended
purpose of the code.
See the forest through the trees. If you lose sight of the end goal then
you will spend all of you time on something small. Actions per minute is
more important than the quality of a single action. Quality will come from
quantity and your job is to do the work, not to judge the work.
Respect your superiors, both those with time in the same rank as you and
those in a higher rank than you.
