What is the status with the saltmines work anyway? Since last few days you were supposedly getting that done but then didn’t get it done but it’s still fine to not do much of it. Glad to hear it’s fine to not do it, but is it really fine or just setting up for trouble later down the road?
Is the work on TheFleet clear? Do you even have some plan that you are following there?
Not chased by a bull sounds like a good idea but not chasing lisp illusions would be even better so if you get back to programming for TheFleet, do make sure it’s actually programming rather than trial-and-error keeping busy, all right?

It is fine. My contract is funded by a research grant, so there is a limited pool of money that is available for them to pay out. If I work more hours my contract will just be consumed quicker. That said, it would still be better in terms of getting more fiat $$ to consume the hours quicker and then move onto the next job.

There are some items that I know need to get done, but I will structure everything into a plan just like I will do for the computer.

And yes I will make my development cycle be closer to plan->execute->revise-plan rather than attempt-to-add-feature->bump-head->attempt-to-add-feature->bump-head
