turns out we're all just tall kids and don't know shit about fuck, it's cool to ask how to do something and it's cool to say "huh, i dunno"
This is another fantastic one. I started telling people I love bring proven wrong. It's an opportunity to learn. It was harder for me to learn to say I don't know in a context where my knowledge was, from my perspective, presumed. My professional experience has taught me to just fucking saying I do not know. It's so much safer than trying to fake it and then hey you brought down a server in production. No, this was not my mistake, but I saw it happen.
Sort of related, if possible I like to continue from "huh, I don't know" to "let's find out" with google or the library or whatever's on hand. Realizing you don't know something means a chance to learn something.
