Had a chat with a remote friend, talking about .. problems in life, I guess. Talking a bit back and forth, some questions asked, I went for the easy route first and talked about MY problems and MY solutions/mitigations. Turns out his problems are entirely different and the solutions therefore too. So, going a step backwards, for the gained overview, I tried talking about identifying problems and inventing some tricks to mitigate them. While doing so, I got reminded about this article. While many of you probably know it already, or at least the message, there is always someone who hears for the first time about X. So here is my todays' X :)
