Here is a list of 5 things to keep in mind when starting programming.
1. Languages are just tools
The most common mistake for a beginne...

Love your 5th point. It's easy to slip into a "low maintenance mode" after so many years. It get's harder to learn new tech stacks or languages, and you become resentful at the pace of technology.
But continuous learning doesn't have to mean continuous mastery. Catch a tutorial every now and again. Do some challenges on LeetCode. Whatever helps to keep your mind open and sharp.

When I'm interviewing candidates for programming jobs, if they say something like "languages are just tools, one is as good as the next," the interview is pretty much over. I'm pretty sure I'm talking to somebody who doesn't really grok type systems, doesn't really grok the power of composition, doesn't really grok the ease of testing pure functions, the advantages of limiting mutation, etc. There is of course the small scale "how do I get X done" in a language, and sure, every language has some way of reading lines from a file, etc. But that's programming in the small. If you want to design and write complex software, there is a lot more to it than that, and the language you choose certainly DOES matter.
But please, if you think that it doesn't matter which language you use, you should definitely say so when you interview. It's a big help to the interviewer! And who knows -- they might even agree with you!
Thanks, Good points
