    You can answer honestly but it’s a greeting, not an invitation to take over the whole conversation to talk about yourself.

    Them: “How are you doing”

    You: “Pretty bad to be honest, but I’m hanging in there”

    And from there you either get:

    Them: “I’m sorry to hear that I hope it gets better”

    You: “Thanks”

    Them: “So I wanted to ask about your TPS reports…”

    Or :

    Them: “Oh no, what’s going on?”

    You: “Well I’m having a lot of mental health issues…”




  • I’ve been too lazy because of school and my life.

    You’re not “lazy”, you’re overwhelmed by your other priorities. There’s nothing wrong with needing to prioritize other things in your life. Maintaining a project like this is no small task and you should be proud of all the work you’ve done.

    It sounds like you’re at a point where you’re improving a lot as a developer and starting to become dissatisfied with your older code. Every developer goes through this from time to time, it’s important that you focus on how much you’ve grown instead of tearing yourself down for not being “better” in the past. The only way to learn and improve is to try things and make mistakes. There’s no reason to view these past mistakes as some kind of shame, they’re just the steps that got you from where you were then to where you at now.

    This is somewhat mycophobic, you could do the same bit with rowanberries and baneberries or lobsters and scorpions. Oleander branches are the perfect shape for roasting sticks but they can kill you if you eat food off of them or burn them in a campfire.

    Nature is always dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing.
