This is just a preservation of my about me page as it was until the 30th of June 2023, since then I have changed my About Me to reflect a change in my personality and mindset. This is just to preserve the history.

About

Ideals

Always assume that you might be wrong.
Being independend doesn’t mean that you can’t take help, it just means that you don’t need it.
Nobody is responsible for how you feel, except yourself.
Take responsibility for everything you do.
Just because you’re saying the truth, doesn’t mean you have to be an asshole about it.
Most things worth doing are hard, but not everything hard is worth doing.
Just because something works doesn’t mean you shouldn’t find a better way.
Knowledge itself doesn’t matter, it matters what you do with it.
Just because everybody’s doing it, doesn’t mean it’s good.
If you put forth an opinion, you have to be ready to defend it.
Your actions are your responsibility.

How to give constructive feedback on code

Just telling someone that their code sucks, is not gonna improve their code.

If you want to tell someone that their code is bad, explain why, provide examples how to do it better and then explain why your examples are better.
If you cannot provide that, then don’t give feedback at all.
Expect the other person to be a beginner, expect them to ask you questions why exactly their code is bad, and be ready to answer those the best you can.
Be friendly, telling someone that their code is absolute dogshit is just gonna make them feel bad, and won’t exactly make them eager to improve it, but rather,
close the chat window or go away. Instead say something like “This is bad, it is bad because … and here is how you could improve it”

Weird Quotes

My non biological brother, it appears my biological mass is immense enough that i have caught myself in a circular hole that’s normally reserved for clothing, and if you use your observation skills wisely, you may notice that my posterior area is fully visible from where you’re standing, so if you’d be so kind as to aid me to break free, or perhaps you do as you please with my currently stuck body
