A Senior Developer working mostly with PHP and JavaScript, with a bit of Python thrown in for good measure, all on Linux. My tooling is simple, it's GitLab and JetBrains where possible.

I have never agreed with this logic. If I don't take a shot I can't miss. You only miss if you shoot.
It's like saying that while I'm sitting here writing this I'm missing an infinite number of goals in football matches I'm not playing. I should go out and play football, and score some goals, to chip into that infinity.

The part "the shots you never take" I read as you are in a position to take those shots, but for some reason don't. I see it as being a shortened version of something more akin to "If you are in a position to take a shot, and you don't try, then you've missed that shot". It's just not as catchy.

Basically, you can;t succeed if you never try
Hah, I was thinking of including that one, since I like sports 😃
Def among my favorites 🔥💯
I'm quite partial to Ice Hockey (go Lightning!) so it's the first thing I thought of when reading through the list

You cannot miss something you don't aim for.
Only if you take it as literally as possible.

A corollary: You don’t get 100% of the jobs you never try for. I recently changed careers and it took a lot even to try. So much happier now 💛
