That changes the picture a lot though because OP's whole point was the impedance mismatch between colleagues.
If you're all self aware that you're all winging it, and learning together, that seems a lot more of a healthier culture.
I could (and do) lay blame on this new culture that "in the age of AI" things are there to be done, not learned, and doing is cheap (even if badly).
But I'm also particularly frustrated with myself for going along with it, and becoming that person.
I've never been that person. So on the one hand I feel I pressure to adapt or die. On the other hand adapting is dying, in a sense.
THIS DISTINCTION MATTERS: myBool IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
LAND HONEST TAKE "Hello world"
CAVEAT:
THE GAP IS REAL "Unexpected error"
THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A SECONDWhen you visit my website a notification pops up on my phone and I have to set HTTP response manually.
It's also audio-only, because if you called me on the phone you wouldn't see any UI, would you?
PS: Was there ever a front page of Instagram? Sounds weird!

One thing about it I really hate, and haven't seen a lot of people mentioning, is how it navigates multiple abstraction levels in a single sentence. E.g.
> Worth stating because four documents now assert it.
Meta commentary on the task?
> a dead drag handle
Drag handle seems to be referring to some UI element. What does it mean for it to be dead?
So far no big deal
> during a booked half-day you do not get back
Do you not get the drag handle back? Or the half day?
Was the drag handle dead during the booked period? (Now I assume this is a calendar UI) And why does it matter (for this sentence) if you get it back or not.
> handoff-4.3-done.html's own wording
Treats verbatim filenames as subjects
> 4.4's review page
Probably referring to a file? I'm guessing handoff-4.4-review.html? No cohesion. And now it's actually the object of the sentence?
> downside of being wrong is that half day
Wait what's the downside? Who's being wrong?
> Checked, not recalled.
Then it jumps back to a meta commentary on the methodology for asserting the above. Why does this belong to the text?
Is there a name for a phobia of yt thumbnails?
OTOH, the output might stick?
Then the question becomes do you value knowledge for its own sake or for what it enables you to do? I don't have an answer.
I absolutely loathe the idea of doing the very thing I'll spend tem hours straight on once started.
The subtle difference to TFA's framing is that it's not only harder to start moving, but it also takes mental energy to stop moving.
I'm sure there is a medical condition or two being described here but I'm too lazy to find out.
"use Socratic method"
The answer is already in your question: Find the reason you don't have energy.
I also found the "Counter example" page title amusing.
Had an account where I managed multiple clients. One of the clients had their "IT guy" contact the registrar for a DNS change. The registrar promptly gave the guy full access to my account, changing the password and locking me out in the process.
As soon as I regained access I moved everything off there.
Exactly. 50% of the times I type git rebase it is followed by --abort.
