in the old days I would format before upgrading osx. if you use a bunch of developer tools, they would often break with osx versions. remember macports? wiping every year or so isn’t a big deal when everything is in the cloud. haven’t n

re: nose breathing. What i’ve been doing is using Simply Saline (easier than a neti pot) and using breath right strips. Optionally use a mouth guard which can help you avoid mouth breathing

Bikes are just super dangerous, at least when there are cars involved. Only injury I've ever had was when a cabbie cut me off going the other way and I flipped head over heals on my rent a bike and fractured my arm

Technical debt not only makes it harder to add features, it makes it harder to remove technical debt and make technical improvements. Choosing not to pay down technical debt is fine, but at some point it will be such a mess you won't
