“Don’t overthink it” & “worrying won’t solve the problem when you have to wait anyway”.

I always give that advice. However, I, personally, always overthink and keep worrying.

True that haha

In practice, I live by “never write any code that’s important enough for anyone to insist on testing it” 😎
