1) You will always be irrationally amazed that people use technology Y, when clearly technology X is better.
2) You will always be
subjected to date and time juggling. No exceptions.
3) The time it takes you to become
an expert at
hot technology X will invariability be equal to the time it takes
technology Y to become the
next hot thing.
4) Projects will take either
3 times as long or
10 times as long as you expect - which is exactly the time it takes you to become disinterested, and interested in your next project.
5) You will never, ever remember the difference between
useradd and
adduser on linux.
6) Your non-trivial projects will always contain an ever-growing directory called
utils that contain outlandish one-off scripts that do who-knows-what.
7) Caffeine
is the answer. No exceptions.
