We visited Natural Bridge State Park[^] and it was all I could do to walk across the middle, staring down at my feet. I think it might be related to acrophobia (fear of heights). Neither of them are debilitating for me now. In my case calling them a phobia probably isn't valid from a clinical point of view.
Oh, wow. Now I understand what it would be like. That's really interesting. Perceptions of the world at a time when you're very young put these phobias into better perspective. I'm still not fond of forklifts, but when I was 5, forklifts scared me.

Fear of other people’s code?
A form of Stranger Danger?

Holy cow. As I had guessed, there is an actual term used to describe
the fear of Christmas trees.
It's called Christougenniatiko dentrophobia.

I guess there must be different terms for fear of artificial plastic trees and natural trees from the forest

Ah, I think I've found a phobia that has no term!
When I was in kindergarten, I had a fear of dog food.
Yes, dog food itself was what frightened me.
I think I may have had a transient fear of dogs themselves,
but it's the dog food that I remember being
afraid of. As to why? I have no explanation.
OK, so we need to think up a term for this phobia.
I can't find anything using Google. Not even close to it.
I'm thinking of the term "cibus", which is Latin for the
word food is a good fit.
The term "canis" is Latin for the word, dog.
Let's see. How about Caniscibusophobia?
Yeah, I like that one.
I can now say that I am a proud survivor of caniscibusophobia.

No, you don't. To be a valid phobia it must be described in pig Latin or Greek.

As software developers, I think we can agree that our coding skills are universally applicable. In my experience, there have been more than a few instances where my work has evoked comments from others expressing disbelief. It's funny because you hear the same things over and over again. "Woah, how did you do that?", and "Where did you learn to do that?", and of course the "You suck" comments.
Knowing how to code is certainly a very valuable life skill to have. But, what about other skills? In
what other areas do you have knowledge or experience with? What are they, and how do you use them?
How are they of benefit to you? Is it worthwhile for others to learn these skills? Why, or why not?

Learning how to read people. I spent years studying how to. Unfortunately, this also put my stubborn butt in a lot of arguments (I'm not perfect) because not everyone wants to know or can handle the truth or will know the truth but never admit it, etc. But, it's learning how to read people.
Even doctors will lie to you. Learn to read people.
