My Day 100 card marks a challenge I completed while building Vigilante.
Besides a card like that, I'd rather explain one thing I understand better now than list every file I changed.

I ended up doing 210+ comments yesterday.
Another 100+ reply day in the books! 🚀
I try to stay active on everyone's feed, but if I haven’t interacted with your posts lately, reply here and I’ll start engaging with your posts!
Broken my previous record of doing the most replies in a day.
130 it is... And still going on.
Previous highest was 108 on 27th Sept.
🥳🎉

You skip writing a small script because the task takes only two minutes.
Then you do the task 18 times.🙂

While testing the functionality of Vigilante's link, the review found paths that opened a “not found” screen even though the server returned a 200. (screenshot attached)
Fixes and route tests are committed;
Learning - A successful response isn't a successful journey.

“I'd write it differently” shouldn't automatically block a PR.
Explain the bug, risk or maintenance cost.
If it's a preference, call it a preference. The author shouldn't have to guess how serious the comment is.

Interviewer:
A list has 5 items, indexed from 0.
Your loop runs while i <= 5. What's wrong?
Hint: indexing

You open an old function, ready to spend an hour understanding it.
There's a comment explaining why the obvious solution didn't work.
Someone saved you a very specific kind of headache.

Is there something you've built that someone else still uses?
A script, spreadsheet or even a tiny website counts.

One class has 10 students, with an average score of 80. Another has 30 students, with an average of 60.

If a button needs a paragraph beside it to explain what happens next, I'd try changing the button label first.
“Continue” could mean almost anything.
“Create account” tells me what I'm agreeing to.
