What Are Your Worst Coding Habits?

Not writing comment 😔

I get so excited about niche ways to do things concisely, I end up looking at them later and having to spend many seconds to figure out what it's even doing 😅 and considering it's my own code, I'm willing to bet other people (especially beginners) would have an even harder time
I've gotten better about this lately, but it's still a lot of fun so it's hard to convince myself not to do it

I often try to make things more catchy, sometimes basic and clean is the best choice. Like for example I made this button to recreate a discord animation, it was fun but maybe not necessary 😅

My git commits are horrible. I do git commit -am "stuff" so often I should make an alias for it. I justify this by telling myself it doesn't matter because I'm just going to squash them when I merge them anyway, and can give the squash commit a good message.

1. Thinking to write the "perfect clean code" (resultd in pre-optimization and end up wating time, pre-optimization is evil)
2. Unwanted git status on every change 🤷

I'm doing to much refactoring making the code seem "beautiful".
Sometimes I try to prematurely optimize.

Well might sound weird, but probably being silent. Sometimes i go into my own world and just code, and forget to update the team. But when you are working in the team, they need to know what is happening. Solution: Sticky note on the screen to remind myself to update everyone one the status and decisions :)

I think it's not worst!... cz am coding while dancing! 😎

Sometimes spending too long coding a quick bespoke func only to realise the language often has it covered in the stdlib already, or even 1-2 built-in methods I can chain. I was just in too much of a rush to RTFM!
