Great post, I'm really enjoying what everyone has been sharing! Just a thought:

A project graveyard is the folder filled with those projects we start and never finish. Every coder has them.

I'm sure you didn't mean this literally, but it risks giving the impression that unpaid side work is a minimum qualification for being a dev. That's not fair to those who don't have the time, mental energy or inclination to spend their off hours coding. A lot of devs enjoy hacking around in their spare time, but it never hurts to be clear that we do it for fun and education, not because we wouldn't be real coders without it. Programming is a big field and there's room for all kinds. 😊
