@aeva it's a good thing i became flawless in the past two to four months

[patrickd@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva yes, “why did I think that was a good idea” is a question I often ask myself.

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@operand being flawless will take you far in life

[lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva the most salient moments of this are a few years in the past for me. you *do* get better. most things i find now are code that hasn't been "garbage collected"

@aeva my entire work day today was owning up to a blunder I made last week

So I guess at least I’m aware I suck at programming for a little while

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@lritter in this case it was a bad decision made under pressure that I had already refactored out a year prior, I just missed a spot. i like to think i've been able to code most programmers under the table for quite a long time now, but that's not really all that hard a bar to clear tbh.

@aeva the yearly anxiety-induced refactoring

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@jonikorpi I enjoy it. it's like all the bad spirits leaving the code

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@helielo no no you don't suck at programming now you just sucked at it last week it's fine now

@aeva and a new one enters
