I get too anxious when working on sth challenging. I want things to run smoothly in the first try. So I am scared to try things and end up wasting time.

Personal perseverance and an excellent group of friends made me better at it. -
What's your opinion on the fact that some companies take the live coding round of the interview on Google docs?2

Not a question per se but an assignment -
Design an application that could find logs between two timestamps where the logs are stored in 10000 files, each with a file size of ~16GB.

Curiosity
I try to read about stuff that is related to what I am doing. Trying to learn about design patterns. The most recent example being learning about the Actor Model when I worked on Orleans Grains in a project at my company. That lead to learning about erlang and akka.
These things excite me. Makes me think about every problem I have ever solved. Drives me to think from a multitude of perspectives in the future.3 -

Worst dev disaster
I was responsible for allowing users to purchase a six month premium plan in our app for free.
Only way we got to know about this was that a customer himself emailed us saying we are allowing users to get premium access for free.
Thankfully he emailed us within a day of the release and we didn't incur massive losses.5 -
Mid hackathon reviews.
It kills the excitement that a judge might have seeing the thing for the first time in the final review.
Instead the final review becomes - "Hey, what did you improve from the last time?"
**Its not a fucking sprint**1 -
Would you rather give meaningful name to your services or cool sounding names like aws greengrass?9

The sudden ureka moment in the bathroom related to a bug I have been racking my brain for the past two days.

TIL you can create accordion design by simply using details and summary html tag and without any JS and CSS.
