It might be silly, but I love this picture.every time I see it.

I really want to know the background on it. Where and when was it? Who was playing? Did she intentionally kick him? Did she know him? Does she still? Was the picture a happy accident or did they know it was coming?

The world needs to know the answers to these pressing questions.

Learning everything the hard way has made me a natural consultant and mentor. Because I’ve already explored all the wrong paths, I often know someone is stuck before they do, understand what threw them off course, and show them how to get back on track

This really hits home and is something I simply don’t see often in juniors today - a desire to tinker, experiment or ‘play’ to figure out how a problem might be solved. I’m always telling them to allow themselves to struggle for at least an hour or two before asking for help.

I deleted the app and reinstalled. ‘Delete account’ is confusing - am I deleting it from the app or from the server entirely? I feel there is could be a better word to describe removing the account from just the app.

I generally use ‘count’ for a counter and ‘idx’ for index.

I’m not using C or Java languages though - if I were I would probably go with the more classic terse approach.

Also, if I’m reviewing a PR and I have to load more of the diff context to understand what a variable represents, then that variable has the wrong name.

I’m honestly prefer short but (usually) complete words. Somewhere along the line I realized that being explicit really helps when you need to change it later.
