We all want to be successful in our programming careers, and I'm sure we've all seen the meme of the difference between an experienced programmer and a new programmer (it works first time...)
I would argue that we should be suspicious of early success.
My plan for this talk, is using examples from other fields to demonstrate why early success is a bad thing. I also intend to redefine what failure actually means, and why we shouldn't fear it.
