EconTalk<\/a> kind of spoke to some of what I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEven after a disgustingly-long day, it’s something I can do to kind of even out my head, as well as stay on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot of what I’m going to do this year is really recycled stuff from a particularly-low point in life, 2017, but I do have a few other things I want to write agouti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll see how it all goes, I suppose. There are a few blank spaces left, so I’m soliciting suggestions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, but when what you’ve got is completely screwed up, you do need to review how you got to that place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I understand, Lessons Learned aren’t good Agile practice, along with things like proper engineering, but…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not supposed to be doing this again, but I figure it’s something that gets me into the mood for the holidays, and next year.
