Set up a separate card number for each site, and that way I don't have to worry if one site is compromised.

Right now it seems like the big things are building out the network and tools, to make the next stage easier. Their release schedule states that the next major release (what they call Metropolis) will happen when they have 1.0 stable release of the native wallet/browser. A couple of IDEs are also in the works, built to work with developing smart contracts for Ethereum. Even Microsoft has added Solidity (essentially a DSL for Ethereum, for those who don't know) support to the latest preview of Visual Studio.
Also, from everything I've been seeing so far is that the dev community forming around Ethereum is very passionate and is grow faster than most expected. If it continues at this pace, and the tools continue to improve with it, Ethereum could continue to become a very robust platform.
All this said, things could still not work out and the project could fail. I would hope it doesn't, because it really is a cool experiment thus far.

First lesson learned is of course in regard to how package managers such as NPM should handle scenarios like this. However, I would also hope this might make some people take a harder look at their dependencies to see if everything they are referencing is both truly needed and trustworthy.

One other thing that is very common for me, but I'm not sure if it is related to dyslexia or not, is that I will frequently either forget the next word I was about to say or say the wrong word without noticing. An example of the latter would be if I am filling the dishwasher I'll say that I finished the laundry, or I'll refer to shaving in the morning as mowing. These happen to me on an almost daily basis.
