I haven’t been in the field for too long but my very first job had extensive ci/cd pipelines setup. At first I was kind of annoyed by having to write tests and having my code auto refused by lint checks. Now that I experienced a job that didn’t have any automated testing, I realized how much I love TDD. Nearly all my personal projects have ci with at the very least lint checks.

I have 40 tabs open…I need…them

I want to stop being a perfectionist. I tend to overthink very simple tasks, trying to make sure I do things in the most efficient manner. Agonize over mistakes. I find it funny that I’m so critical of myself but I would never think to apply that to other people. I’m working on it, it’s just very difficult

I didn’t know about registers, thank you for this!

If it makes you feel even better, I’m a software engineer and I had lots of trouble learning to use GitHub and git, it’s embarrassing to admit it but I’m super glad I learned!
