If you ship a project and your management chain begins talking about the next thing, stop improving that project. In my experience, continuing to work on an already-shipped project is a very common mistake. Declare victory and walk away!
Got it. Shipped = Victory.

- robertlagrant 2y agoYour apparent "need" for food and shelter is a social construct! Get out there! And by "out there", I mean out in the cold!
