Hola, Virginia! My advice is, if you feel nervous, then add structure. Agree with your conversation partner what you will discuss during your session and how much time in English or Spanish. Write a script of what you want to say. Ask the other person to take notes and send you feedback. Offer the same feedback. Take care!

M. Fahad, I am also a software engineer. I live in the US. Perhaps you can educate me about topics like, pair programming, code reviews, best practices, building rapport for introverts during a pandemic.

Hi Filipe! We may have close timezones.

"Scramble" is a fast, inaccurate movement, usually using all four limbs (arms and legs). For example, scrambled eggs, means eggs that are quickly stirred over heat. The sense is that the effort is difficult, thus fast or crude.

J'aime la randonnée? Ou bien, randonnée pédestre.

My French host mother corrected me, "C'est pas meurchi, c'est merci !". So, the r aside, the important bits are meh + see. As far as the r goes, of you can imagine a Spanish rolled r or a dental tap (the tt/d sound in little) and move that to the back of your throat, that is a continental French r sound.

I don't have enough context to know what "bits" means in this case. My guess is that the statement is about stealing. In this case, bits might mean the activities, the jobs, the games, the effort. If they are long, then they are tiring or difficult. So, it could mean that one must stay awake all night waiting for someone to leave their residence in order to steal from them. Bit, in this case, would be the time when one is waiting.
