Let's start from #resilient_individuals

A great way to improve your skills is to learn from professionals from different fields.
Who does something that lasts long? Well, a lot of people.

Scientists, architects, musicians - they all developed many techniques which we, software engineers, can borrow.
Let's talk about artists today.

I want to share one of my favourite articles - "How to Be an Artist, 33 rules to take you from clueless amateur to generational talent" by Jerry Saltz (@jerrysaltz on Twitter).
The article is long, but it is worth it.

There are my top-3 rules from that article:
1. Tell your own story (helps to develop a personal strategy rather than jump from one hype-train to another)
2. Start with a pencil (try to think about anything with a piece of paper and a pencil –– just start writing down completely changes the way how you think)
3. Learn to deal with rejection (from code review to job interview )
