Signs that you're a bad programmer (yacoset.com)

This is like, the best guide to being a better programmer I've ever seen, all except for the part about pointers.

High level language references are different enough that I could see someone having no trouble with them even if they didn't understand pointers.

Maybe "Indirection" is a better goal, since you really will need to understand that, even though you might never do any pointer arithmetic beyond array indexing.
