I secretly have forgotten a lot of the working code I wrote months ago; and whenever someone asks, I need to go back and read it like new
Monday stand-ups are the worst
// TODO make this work
Pro tip: Keep a log of your work in a text file. I write a few bullet points for each day and on Friday write a “Next Week” section for my todos on that following Monday. Helps reduce the cognitive load of trying to remember what the hell you were about to do next.
I sort of do this in a block comment at the top of some scripts I write.
Changelog for Completed Stuff and Future Features for todo
I write down my current/next thoughts on a Post-It and stick it to my keyboard for Monday Noodle.
As is tradition.
Its always like 3 hours to remember why I was doing what I was doing, just to scrap it because the core is all wrong.
Make up something quickly stand-up is only 30 minutes after starting time
If only there were some way to leave some sort of … what’s it called a comment maybe 🤔 idk…

Me except it’s everyday, and it’s my boss’s code, so I’m not able to complain 🫠
You can always complain. You’re complaining right now.
But I’m smart enough not to do it to my boss.
This is so me!
