  • I was, and still am, fine with my own thoughts. I intentionally go places without my phone that I know I’ll be standing around waiting. Bus stop to pick up my kid, restaurant to grab lunch, quick trip to the store. It’s nice not having the option to distract myself with it and the feeling of being entirely disconnected knowing if “something terrible happened” I wouldn’t be able to reach anyone instantly is a lot more calming than it sounds.





  • I did quite a few bad things like that early on. Now I never type UPDATE or DELETE without first doing a SELECT and WHERE. It’s easy to convert to a DELETE and UPDATEs tend to effect only a few fields at a time so the extra effort is worth the peace of mind. It’s a good habit to form, I can’t even think of the last time I did anything horrible.
