Want to be awesome? And not suck? Coding Horror blogger Jeff Atwood has three simple rules for going from zero to hero.

He writes on Coding Horror that "the only thing that prevents us from being awesome is our own fear of sucking." What he's found works for him and others to push past that:

1. Embrace the Suck
2. Do It in Public
3. Pick Stuff That Matters

So many great points here, including acknowledging that sucking will always be there in some form, "maximizing the value of your keystrokes," and doing something useful or cool for someone else. Let's all go be awesome! [Coding Horror]
