What are your best and worst coding traits?
#1
Well let's say maybe list 3 to 5, or a few, whatever. No order needed, unless ranking is one of your positive traits!

For me, it would be tenacity, interest in the projects I'm involved with, drive, mechanics, and somewhat creativity. What I consider to be  negative traits would be typing speed, about half that of a pro, being impatient with documentation, organizing works in folders, variable naming, and consistency (I like to do projects differently.) One that I used to love but have been missing over the years, the ability to keep a program straight in my head, as well as on the screen. That was cool.

When I'm on a roll I lose track of time .... not good for the marriage
When I'm stumped I take long walks and long showers ... not good for the marriage
When I'm not coding I'm checking on the latest comments from Pete ... not good for the marriage.

Definitely my lanky and hairy legs.  Hands down.  Or hands up?  I dunno...

Could be worse. Could have Yosemite Sam legs, wherever the hell they are?

Yeah, gotta believe them are angry and crusty jewels daggin' down life's highways.

But just like one's greatest strengths are likely greatest weaknesses, one's greatest weaknesses are likely one's greatest strengths?

Wait a minute, how in blazes are you hanging off that tree limb to help that old lady's cat outta the tree???

Oh great. Give Mark 5-minutes and he'll code that entire gif.

My best trait is to lay down the algorithm before I start coding. This gives me a clearer view of where I'm heading.
My worst is re-laying the algorithm google times, so I take ages to even get started with coding.
My second- worst is forgetting what...
Anyway, it's bad!
