I'm trying to express who I am as a someone who writes software in the below.
you can expect the content to be changed any time
I:
-
code to express what should be done and how, for both humans and machines
-
document things that should be shared within and across teams for everyone's mental health
-
write tests to avoid doing same tests manually again for my future self and others (usually the future comes very quickly)
-
read to understand why and how things are this way rather than other ways
-
play and learn or learn and play for joy and new possibilities
-
step away to be able to see things clearer (in different distances and angles)
-
measure so I can see what changes are needed and how much the changes actually impacted
-
listen to patterns especially more repeating ones to see what's going on and what to do about it
-
participate to build a better community
-
admire great works from who were before us
-
appreciate what you've done for us
-
admit current limits and weaknesses of mine
-
challenge to explore further than current limits
-
improve environments for better opportunities and safeties
-
build stuff mostly to build better tools...
-
spend time and energy for reducing repetition to save time and energy
-
fight with perfectionism to pay attention to priorities
-
(should) beg forgiveness whenever it's necessary
-
embrace undesirable outcomes as a natural companion that will bring possibly better methods and outcomes
-
suffer or at least suffered from probably whatever you went through as a normal human being
-
like to keep pushing forward and understand occasional break times are necessary for that
-
find it hard to finish this list naturally so I will just suddenly stop here 🤪
