When I was 7 years old, my schooled offered me to skip a grade and I accepted. My teachers (and parents) all made a big deal about how clever I was etc.
This quickly became a chip on my shoulder that took decades for me to articulate and admit to.
In retrospect, skipping 1st grade was a big mistake. Suddenly, I was the youngest person in every group, always the least physically and mentally mature, etc.
I became insecure about this, and would often act out to show my classmates how "mature" I was..

🧵🐞 Since early on, the SerenityOS readme file has had a list of significant contributors (100+ commits.)
I've been adding them in chronological order as they reach the 100 commit mark, and I just added a 9th person!
This will be a thread about every person added to that list!
