Am I the only one left who winces at "between Jacob and I" in place of "... and me" and at "between myself and ..." in place of "between me and ..."?

Next time you interview for a job and the hiring manager asks you for an example of a negative trait, maybe don't tell him that you sometimes take forever to write simple anecdotes or fact check yourself in casual conversations after they end.

I get it, though. I am often held back by either uncertainty that my product wasn't perfect (which makes me a good coder) or that I am unprepared for a performance, which makes me overcompensate by practicing thoroughly.

Maybe being oriented toward correctness is a virtue, but many people often pay the price for it IRL.
