Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.

Good code is self-explanatory. You should only comment your code if it does something unexpectedly complicated.

The code shows what is being done. The comments should explain the why.

5-10 sandwiches a week is a lot of bread to you? When I was in high school as a growing teen-aged boy I would eat that in a day. Most families with kids will go through 1 or 2 loafs of bread each day.

Is this a personal thing or do Americans in general just eat very little bread?

i can leave a loaf in the fridge for a month or two and it will be perfectly fine.

I hate to break it to you, but that ain’t bread.

Refrigerated bread goes stale faster.

If it’s a machine used for business: corporate espionage.

It depends on how busy it is. It’s mainly the time it takes to make the pizza. Delivery is a 900 meter bike ride. I think Dominoes uses e-bikes so that’s maybe 2 minutes?

Assuming we had proper bike infrastructure(which we don't); you'd be hard pressed to top the speed a car can go, and you would still have to stop frequently at lights, just like a car

Here it’s the exact opposite. There is no way a car can keep up with a bike in the city. Let’s say I wanted to go to the city center by car, which is about 2 kilometers. I would encounter 5 traffic lights just in that short drive. On a working day it would be slow, on a Saturday? Forget it. It would probably be faster to walk. Alternatively, I could go by bike and encounter exactly zero traffic lights. I would ride from my house to the bicycle highway (few hundred meters), and from there it’s an uninterrupted route to the city center. It’s a completely separate path and there are bridges crossing all major roads. Near the city center it turns into a shared space where bicycles have priority over cars. The city center isn’t accessible by car at all, so if you go by car you have to park your car at the edge of the city center (paid) and walk the rest. By contrast, I can cycle right up to any store and park my bicycle right in front of it.
