summary
Five concrete habits map to measurable improvement: always be coding by building clones (Twitter/Facebook), contributing fixes to gems, or deleting a library’s spec dir and writing tests from scratch; put GitHub on your resume — hiring screens prefer a GitHub link; blog implementation notes and post walkthroughs of dissected gems; volunteer to speak to force learning (learned RubyMotion fast then taught it); prioritize hallway networking to meet maintainers and land gigs.
