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 🤪
