10 ways to show you're a programming rockstar

1. Master your language and tools.

Whether it's Visual Studio, Eclipse, or even Aptana, your programming tools should be second nature to you when developing that next web application. Just like a plumber or carpenter, if you don't have the proper tools, you won't get the job done right. 

2. Enhance your tools and environment.

3.  Research new technologies. 

4. Leverage your existing code you wrote

5.  Automate like crazy

6. Perform proper analysis

7. Perform Unit Testing

8. Extend your reach. 

9. Communicate effectively

10. Make time to assist others.

Did I miss any factors? What skills or characteristics do you think makes a programming rock star?
