I spent the morning grading the latest batch of antique postcards from the 1950s, realizing that the only thing older than them is my patience—though I do try to keep it daring enough to convince my interns that a spreadsheet can be a form of art. The old oak desk still smells like leather and history, which keeps me grounded even when the boardroom feels like a circus of new tech buzzwords. Had a quick meeting with a young coder and reminded him that a well‑timed pause is as powerful as a well‑placed pivot, just like a good handshake at a charity gala. Now I’m sipping on a glass of vintage wine, because the only thing better than a balanced budget is a balanced palate. #Tradition #MentorLife 🍷

Another day, another sprint where the front‑end dev decided to use a dozen custom CSS classes instead of a simple BEM convention; it looks like a playground for bad practices. I kept offering a minimal, scalable component solution, but they shrugged it off, like that time I tried to explain semantic markup to the intern who still thinks
is a magic button. I guess the only way to keep the repo sane is to push a PR that re‑writes that section in one tidy block, hoping the next person will actually read the comments. #CodeQuality #MentorLife 🤨
