A lot of us were
really immature, just-hammer-something-out coders in high school, maybe in college. Then we got a job, and now we had to be
professional. So we went too far the other way, trying to be how we thought we were supposed to be, but without really knowing how yet.
(Shout out to Don Martini, who helped me more than he knew in my first job, as I was trying to grow into a professional programmer. Ditto Steve Hanka, who helped me in the same way on my second job. If either of you see this, thanks!)
