Shortcut Generation

You think you're a writer because, well, you enjoy Kerouac and Hemingway, and like to jot down entries on a Moleskin notebook.

Your dad bought you a shiny new SLR and now suddenly you're a photographer.

You can write "working" code and you start calling yourself a software engineer.

Work on your craft until you start living and breathing it or just give up. Mastery is not something you can get on discount.
