Badge I'm Most Proud Of: Sportsmanship

I am a software engineer that is constantly learning and feel that Stack Overflow is a way for me to learn and to give back what I've learned. I have been writing software for more than twelve years in a myriad of industries using a ridiculous number of technologies. Over my twelve years of experience I have learned that there are a few things experienced software engineers tend to do that I try to avoid:

1. Employ the Law of the Instrument.
2. Build solutions that challenge their intellect rather than solve the problem.

Therefore, I'm constantly pushing myself to implement the simplest solution necessary to solve the problem and only complicate it because the problem requires it. However, I understand why these things happen, we get bored!

At any rate, I hope that my answers are helpful, insightful, and complete and I look forward to seeing you on Stack Overflow!
