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.

Is this actually accurate? If so, can it please gain traction and attention? We can’t allow these creeps to play games anymore. It’s time to stop letting everything slide.

Sounds like a fun way to interact with the kids. They must love you coming to the games.

Eh, people mess up sometimes. If the apology seemed sincere and you actually want the job, I would give them another chance. If not, don't.

If there exists an ideal food, perfect beyond measure, this would be it.

That would be a cat burglar.

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.

This is a nice quick read with some practical advice learned through read world experience. Thanks for sharing.

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 had a bass teacher early on that recorded about 4 notes onto a cassette, played very slowly and repeated several times. He then sort of coached me through guessing a note on the neck at random while he played it back and I would adjust higher or lower from there.

These days I mostly do the same thing, but after memorizing the line enough to hum it out loud or in my head. I can usually play most of not all of a song of mediumish difficultly (most popular rock songs) within a single playthrough, assuming the parts are straightforward and repetitious. More involved tunes might require a few playthroughs.

I will sometimes go to YouTube for really complicated stuff or when the bass part is harder to make out.

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.
