I had a wise friend tell me that engineers are always in a state of being wrong. What you build today you will most likely laugh at in five years. The goal for today is to build the least wrong thing you can. I used to argue more than I should have simply because I didn't like being wrong either. After hearing this, it helped me to become more objective.

That's not nice. Everyone is on their own journey, their own learning curve, to a level experience needed to fulfill their own ambition. Rather than saying, "your code is crap" wouldn't it be more productive to encourage this person to challenge themselves to get outside their comfort zone?

You're important to us. You are needed. This will pass and there are people who love you

The Blue Nowhere by Jeffery Deaver. I read it at least once a year and live my life by it. There was no book that better described living in the digital world vs the physical world when I was growing up programming and living in muds. Every thing and every relationship in the physical world is a game that can played successfully with the right character

Get a pinephone and a pinebook pro and be done with it. When you want to get online, use a public WiFi like mcdonalds or starbucks and connect to tor or i2p and do your thing.

Attempting to hide in a world full of people who could care less about their privacy will make you stand out to those watching, however.
