Truism
“Broken gets fixed. Shoddy lasts forever.”
One of the developers I work with said this after I complained about a lingering issue in one of our products. It rings true. When deadlines are tight, and there is more work to get done than there are developers or hours in the schedule, it’s not the squeaky wheel, but the jammed one that gets the grease. The lesson, then, is to make sure it gets done right the first time. You never know when you’ll have the opportunity to revisit it.

In 2008 the attitude has changed somewhat:

is wishing he could see a Texas vs. Alabama Sugar Bowl but knows that ain’t gonna happen.
Dec 04
Wishing teenagers would focus less on eros and more on philia. Of course, I might have more luck wishing for a world peace and a lunar condo

Looks like I may get to feeling better just in time to go back to work. Whee!
