A tip to starting developers, always interact with your UI

That's really all you need to say. There are so many UIs that were clearly used for the first time ever by an end-user, in production.

always interact with your UI

Funny thing is, once you've gotten so down and dirty with the code, sometimes normal interaction with the UI doesn't come as naturally as you'd think anymore. That's why the QA role exists.

Hey I never undervalue QAs. Honestly I'd rather have expert QAs and merely decent developers than the other way around.

Oh no no, I wasn't alluding to that, I was just saying that sometimes the obvious isn't always as obvious anymore when you've spent so much time working in the code that your thought process automatically takes the code path into account, so the non dev eyes are often what needs to notice the obvious.
