That’s it. For a long time I thought I was good at programming and I kept making the same mistakes over and over. All nighters, leet coding, runtime hacks, etc...
And then one day it struck me. It’s hard and my mind can’t keep up with yesterday’s cowboy coding.
Slowly I started putting defense mechanisms everywhere - good type systems, immutability, compile type instead of runtime, never overwork and sleep the best I can.
Life is much better now and I'll never go back to thinking I'm good at programming.
