I see comments as a failure of my prose capacity at coding. I try to commit code that should be able to explain itself as if it were accompanied by any comments. But if something is too confusing to be maintained by someone else (like me 6 months from now), then I use a comment. But that is a sad moment because I also know that this future person can update the code and not update the comment, then the thing becomes even more confusing. TODOs should never be in committed code; they should live in your project/issue management system.
Dealing with something new demands a lot of energy. On top of the rational side of the new role, there is an iceberg of social learning and anxiety. You are not only finding your space in this new tribe but crafting it in every new interaction. Give yourself time to fully immerse in this challenge. In my opinion, is more important to use the after hours to take care of your personal life and build mental resiliance. In time, your curiosity for new topics will surface once again.
I am in the web since 1999. I loved it then and also love it now.
It has popularized access do knowledge, opened a channel to all forms of expression for millions around the world and continously lower the barrier to more innovation.
Friction is present in all social activities: politics, families, friendships. This kind of tought seems to me more as failure to cope with human nature than rational legitime analisys.
