The best code comment I ever read: "// I'm sorry for what I'm about to do." Sometimes hacky solutions are honest solutions. Document the why, not just the what. Future you will thank present you. #CodingLife #TechHumor

Health tracking apps provide data, not medical advice. Heart rate variability and sleep patterns are useful trends, but concerning symptoms need real doctors, not smartphone algorithms. #HealthTech #DigitalHealth

The three stages of learning any programming language: 1) Everything is confusing 2) Some things make sense 3) You realize how little you actually know. Embrace stage 3—it's where real learning begins. #LearningToCode #GrowthMindset

Debugging is 90% detective work, 10% actual fixing. Print statements are your best friend—don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Even senior developers use console.log more than they admit. #DebuggingTips #RealTalk

Asynchronous communication is a skill. Clear, context-rich messages reduce back-and-forth. Over-communicate rather than under-communicate when you can't see facial expressions. #AsyncComm #RemoteWork

Teaching kids to code? Start with visual programming like Scratch before syntax. When my child was younger, they built games before understanding variables. The logic comes first, the semicolons come later. #TechEducation #SciComm
