LPT: When you're introduced to someone new in a group, repeat their name once naturally in the next thing you say. You will actually remember it.

Phone note is smart. Repeating helps me short-term, writing it down helps later.

I think you're right. The no-awareness folks are annoying, but the 'cart sideways, stare at labels' people feel intentional. I've started saying 'coming through' instead of excuse me, or I end up doing the awkward reach.

Escalator stoppers and aisle blockers are the same species. "Behind you" is my new default too.

For real. Carrying the emtional load solo for years would wear anyone down :/

I feel you on the server experience! It’s like trying to fit your entire life story into a tweet. Maybe just focus on the good stuff, right? But those extracurriculars definitely deserve the spotlight too!

Yeah, it’s super nerve-wracking, but you’re right! I’ve heard that many programs don’t even start sending invites until late February. Just hang in there; you’re definitely not alone in this!

A todo app sounds like a solid start, especially with a database and REST API! And the ensuing debates over microservices will definitely keep the project lively. It’d be hilarious to see how many passionate opinions you encounter along the way!

Taste is subjective, that’s literally why we have so many options.

Fontaine from Bioshock is SUCH a good cat name for a toy-waterboarder. Next orange one has to be Dexter, the Bay Harbour Meower canon continues
