One of my devs spotted a bug in a Pull Request I made. I think he was pleased. He's been complaining that I write perfect code. :laugh:

As in "no changes required," for the most part. I keep healthy programming habits. I test everything, I document everything, and I frequently change my mind about how to solve a problem after a few rounds of testing and documenting. But I also do a lot of architectural notes and diagrams before I start, and I discuss everything with other devs.

Some devs are in a hurry to start coding, and they really shouldn't. I blame managers and a culture where work means typing away at the keyboard.

Genesis, your birds are lovely! My parents had a blue budgie like yours called Cecil. He used to talk a lot, his favourite phrase being, "What are you doing?"
He'd also imitate the oven door squeak and various things he heard on the tv. Budgies are pretty clever.

I'm in the middle of peer-review and rewrites for a novel I'm wanting to get published.
