14 hours into writing the script that was going to save you from doing the task yourself and you can't quit now, too much time has been put into this endeavour.

Nothing is worse for me at work than when someone asks me for a delivery timeline

Ufff eeehhmm probably about two month or so in the best case. 5 years in the worst case and realistically about 9 months.

Is that metal? Did someone actually turn a tweet into a metal plaque? I'm not complaining, I think it's funny.

And then we find ourselves falling victim to the sunk cost fallacy.

I'm really feeling all those hours I spend learning vim to never use vim.

Does it count if I’m in vi only because I don’t know how to exit? I have to buy a new computer every time.

I literally use vi/vim for everything that I can. I would use it for gmail if there was a way.

Oh man, this hit me right in the face 🫣.

So many times did I get myself into weeks, month and even years long projects thinking I'll be done in an afternoon... feature creep and my need to fidget with my code because its not perfect yet...
