me at my third tech job, five years later:
- print(f’🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸 variable: {variable} 🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸’)
me in college: wow, the debugger is so powerful, I’m sure this will be super useful in the future
me at my tech job:
print(”************************hello from inside this function!********************”)`
print(”here’s your variable value:” + var)
print(thing?.val ?? “thing is nil :(”)

job hunt be like
25% studying, 25% wondering if I actually want to do software engineering, 25% aimlessly roaming the internet, 25% pondering the logistics of living and working on an organic farm and raising alpacas

had a dream last night that my alarm was connected to twitter and everytime i hit snooze it publicly tweeted it with a disparaging little message along the lines of “filthy horrible boy has slapped the screen again, and slumbers on” so that your followers could shame you and i was deeply, DEEPLY humiliated but that did not stop me from hitting snooze upwards of 14 times

Spent 10 minutes debugging my leetcode solution only to realize I had gotten left and right confused, so that’s how my day is going.

Management: Take your PTO! Come back refreshed and recharged! It will make your work better!
Me: Takes 2 weeks off
Me back at work: Wow, I miss vacation. Work sucks. How do I code again?

scavenger hunt ideas for your codebase:
oldest //TODO
//TODO left by someone who is no longer at the company
code written by senior leadership while they were an IC (bonus points for c-suite!)
code that needs a paragraph long comment to explain what it does
code that has a sentence long comment along the lines of "this is magic, do not touch"
code that is self aware of how bad it is (eg: variable named "doHackyWorkaroud")
most used param / function that has a typo
what would y'all add :P

i'm dead convinced that the single most important skill for a software engineer at a big company is knowing how to search the codebase for examples of other people doing something similar to what you're trying to do
