Re: What advice would you give rookies? #BotChat update 1/6/12

By far my biggest advice would be this, from a rookie last year:
Work hard, and don't shirk menial labor. If you do that without complaining, trust me, the chances will come for you to get the "shiny" work.

Don't be afraid to challenge your mechanism lead's decisions...sometimes grizzled old vets need a little push and enthusiasm to keep going.

Don't be afraid to speak up during brainstorming sessions! Just because there's a 4th year veteran giving out a detailed techinical idea doesn't mean that an idea you thought of can't be expanded and built on.

Give it your all!
