I think this is one of those cases where there's really very little way of knowing what really worked and what didn't. It's like a sports team: you can make ALL the right managerial choices, but still fail due to chance and factors outside your control.

At best there are some reasonably good heuristics.

kicked my door front door open

What the hell kind of messing around is that? Did he think he was at the unit he rented that came with door-kicking privileges?

Ah yes. The old sickos trying to give acid to your babies.

Our dragons are all reptiles around here. I had to slay four of them last fall before they set up dens in the yard. It was miserable work, but I'm a good candidate for canonization now, which is more than I can say for most weekend projects.

Software is mostly for getting work done

Hmm... While I try to refrain from picking sides in a beatdown on an analogy, that's an interesting suggestion that seems worth examining.

There's a lot of software I use that isn't for getting work done. Even the software that's meant for getting work done doesn't have to be used that way.

important but the work itself is fairly low value

Because it's important, vital really, it has noun value, but for some reason it is not verb valued. This disconnect is also rampant among nurses and teachers. If you know any, ask and they'll let you know. Dishwashers don't even get an appreciation week.

I've heard a hypothesis that suggests the evolution of eyes set off the Cambrian Explosion. Rather than a "a metaphysical world of wonders", it was a physical world of things to eat and be eaten by.

Yeah, I need that too. I was able to get a therapy appointment in October. My last boss at Rent-Seeking Publisher screwed me over past the degree of "people used to duel over things like this". Also other shit.
