Sometimes we focus on what’s not perfect today. In doing so, we might forget just how good we have it.

I've done migrations off my. Savings were 8+ figures/year, so worth it, but, the application didn't have a lot of development. Several companies tried and failed; in addition to all the issues described, you find random bugs in the source coffee that just happen to work.

When banks created derivatives that could only be fairly valued by the bank, with 5% profit margins built in, it got them a trip to Congress.

SGPs have margins that would make options traders blush and were sold to people with no financial sophistication whatsoever. These things turn your phone into a vampire, and have no socially redeeming value. Please ban them!
