You'd think one would be over it at some point of one's career.
But here I am, having submitted a report last week and the editor writes back saying
"thanks for a detailed and thoughtful report. exemplary actually. i find it very useful."
-- and I am PREENING myself on this.
Seriously, folks, never forget how happy a few words of real praise (there were some more details in there that show that the editor truly engaged) can make someone.

@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social If I received that message I would print it out in large letters and post it over my desk! Definitely support using positive feedback to keep yourself grounded, especially when in academia where criticism is the norm.
