Yeah, it's one of those things I've had to relearn every so often, but I think it's finally stuck. I'm pretty certain that this realisation is what turns junior devs into senior devs.

I fully expect it to be some combination of tired, rushed, understaffed and inexperienced.

And if you do this, don't forget to claim your tax back from IRD. It's super easy, and the current government ain't good enough stewards of our money to have it.

I'm betting it's the one that I had bullied out of me at a West Auckland high school*. Kiwi, but with the ghost of Received Pronunciation cultivated in generations of farmers' kids sent Kings or St Cuths at age 11. *Not quite. I can still code-switch into it when I want a specific reaction...
