Hi,
As a programmer, I believe our super-powers include:
Mastery of Version Control (e.g., Git): We can efficiently collaborate on code, track changes, and easily roll back if needed.
Test-Driven Development (TDD): We possess the ability to write tests that ensure our code functions correctly, promoting reliability and maintainability.
Continuous Integration (CI): We can set up systems that automatically test code changes, ensuring quality and preventing regressions.
These super-powers empower us to create and maintain software effectively and efficiently.

And apparently, looking at her other comments, she always starts with "hi".

I think there is no single definition of a super-power programmer. However, I know one thing: if you sit next to someone who has a lot of experience and knowledge, you can learn a lot from him.

In my point of view fruits, salad boost much more super power rather than alcohol or junk food, early to bed and early to rise, doing meditation at morning (before 5 a.m. in peace environment) also boost super power.

  • Create an automation of boring lazy daily things
  • Having a lazy mindest that (sometimes) can lead to solve the problem effectively and creatively

All of them have positif lazy aspect
