Hey everyone!

I’ve been thinking a lot about some of the strange habits we tend to pick up over time. Whether it’s something you do while coding or something that’s just a result of being deep in tech, I’m curious to know what quirky things you’ve noticed.

For example, do you catch yourself talking to your code like it’s a person?  Or maybe something totally random, like always having a specific snack nearby to code effectively?

i need to talk to my sphinx cat while i code because if i dont explain everything i am doing to the cat the code is significantly worse. i cant focus like i used to and ever since a head injury 6 months ago my inner monologue/dialogue has been missing.

I'm a novice coder at best. I took a Python course AP (college credit) a while back, along with a Java course AP as well. So I understand basics and the difference between object oriented and not, but I find that when coding anything I tend to work sporadically. I'll have an idea for a project and just kinda start it, and work on random sections that manifest themselves as I go. I.e "Oh my function needs a specific variable I haven't made yet... Ok, now I need another function to iterate when this if-statement calls this array, when this variable is used as the parameter... etc." I don't know if it really seems like a quirk or just a bad habit, but yeah...
