I've grown to love code even more later in life, even other people's code.

You know what I hate?

Coding ceremonies (formerly known as "meetings") that produce poorly defined/badly written acceptance criteria for code.

One of my problems is that I've gotten so practiced at reading code that my standards for "this is readable, it doesn't need much commenting" are much lower than those of the other developers I work with. I've had to recalibrate from "Will I be able to understand this six months from now?" to "Will I need to explain this in the review?"

Will I need to explain this in the review?

I like this metric. Going to fork it if you don’t mind.
