Why no one will use this code.

[jeffshumphreys]

I use dot includes heavily. I don't much care for making modules. I code fast.

[jeffshumphreys]

Snarky comments and cussing. Puts people off.

[jeffshumphreys]

Cuss out people and companies I used to work with by name. Because they insisted on doing things the dumbest way possible. No source control for one.

[jeffshumphreys]

Generate global variables from functions. A reverse injection.

[jeffshumphreys]

Established reputation for rabbit holes, rocket ships, and immovable stubbornness. I also try to force functionality to work even if it's not critical path.

[jeffshumphreys]

I'm super competitive on a team and do everything I can to undermine my teammates.

[jeffshumphreys]

Windows hypo focus

[jeffshumphreys]

Bleeding edge sometimes. I over use non-ANSI SQL.

[jeffshumphreys]

Use contrary languages like PowerShell. I hated Java, and JavaScript, and now Python and Rust and the rest.
But it works for me.

[jeffshumphreys]

I tend to abandon projects

[jeffshumphreys]

Leave secrets in open text.

[jeffshumphreys]

Use emojis for my clarity, like "❌"
