I tried writing about a character who finds a single red mitten in the snow and it unlocked a whole week of terrible writer's block.

Shoutout to when I asked for the wifi password at a cafe and the barista handed me a handwritten note from 2012. Felt like stepping back in time.

My client's kid asked me why I always say 'I mean' before giving an opinion

My cousin pointed out I say "literally" wrong all the time. Now I pause for a full second every time I'm about to say it, it's so annoying.

Warning: I stopped doing full face extractions three years ago and my clients are better for it.

Covering up the real problem" sounds like something my old boss would say to sell more painful treatments. The real problem is causing broken capillaries and a damaged skin barrier. Fixing that damage is the actual solution.

Just realized the whole 'feud' between those two actors at the Met Gala was probably staged

Wait, you explain this stuff to your cat?

Just hit 1000 lines of code in my first project and it feels weird

Look at it from the manager's side though, @ryan793. They often don't know the code, they just see a number going up. The real work is invisible, like fixing a design or finding a better way. Explaining that is just another part of the job, sadly. You're right about clean code, but convincing people is the extra unpaid task.
