Your self-awareness is a good sign. My predecessor was a self-taught cowboy coder with no one to draw comparisons with. He was the lead (read: only) software engineer at my company, barring fresh graduates that didn't know any better.

Then I came along to point out all of his anti-patterns & cruft. By that point, he was too entrenched & self-assured in his abilities to listen to reason. Some people have imposter syndrome, others are imposters that failed upwards in spite of their incompetence.

Sean, if you're reading this - fuck you. I'm still coming across code you refuctored

    What? I thought airplane mode was so that you can fly the plane and give the pilots a break.

    I've been holding my phone perfectly still in coach the entire time. Why didn't anyone tell me?

    My headcanon says that Miyamoto was fixated on the name Zelda long before realizing it was a woman's name. Then he said "fuck it" and threw a princess in there.

    I know that he actually took the name from Zelda Fitzgerald, but this is funnier.
