Used to just go by the sticker date. That soft click on a prop bolt last year was a real wake up call. Now I send them out like clockwork, no questions asked.

Been there, those cheap hacks always bite back.

Actually, my path was the total opposite. Started with C and it forced me to really understand how memory and pointers work from day one. That low-level stuff made higher level languages like Python feel like a breeze later on. @james_ramirez, my first real project was a command line tool to sort log files, which needed that kind of control. Sometimes the harder start builds a stronger base, you know? What do you think makes a better foundation?

Wait, they called you out for interrupting? That's wild. My old boss did that to me once, said I cut him off three times in one meeting. I didn't even notice I was doing it.

Ever try baby powder for a slow oil drip?
