You’re joking @CoxHelp . I literally triggered a production deployment at work 30 seconds before my internet decides to end its day. How is my deployment going? No idea.

My @delta flight got canceled from JFK. The customer service line was huge, so I google a Delta JFK phone number. The number was 1888-571-4869 Thinking I reached Delta, I started telling them about getting me on a new flight.
Tell me you’re not stable without telling me you’re not stable. Stuff like this is incredibly unprofessional. I wouldn’t want my ads next to this stuff.

Normalize doing self retros frequently. There are opportunities to learn from everything to see what you can do better. It’s ok to admit something wasn’t perfect or you did something wrong. It’s not ok to not identify and not correct it for next time.
Remember the time when you wanted to accept credit cards on your site you had to get a processor and cert and stuff? Kids are spoiled these days…
One thing I hate about Star Trek is time travel. It always feels like they are stretching for new ideas when they do it.
Constant self improvement is key in my life. At work, I constantly do self retros even if a failure wasn’t my responsibility… maybe I could have still prevented it. I also do them personally where I recognize I get stuck in my routines that I may not be doing enough with Luna.
Everyone has their off periods. Known as a high performer, I wasn’t this week. I couldn’t get out of my head. I couldn’t stop myself from feeling negative. Didn’t really have anyone watching out for me as I spiraled.
We are all human. We need empathy while not allowing the world to stop. I cannot be a success without everyone around me being a success. This means I have to help others regardless of my own issues. This is ok. Helping others often is therapeutic for me.
