There's a corollary rule about optimizing performance last. Somehow, I never met a PM that knew about budgeting time in the schedule for that part...

For a while I was tasked with maintaining a VB6 program that was about 6k lines of Chef Boyardee code in a single file. I think there had been about a dozen guys there before me and there were a lot of comments in there like:

'Don't you @#$!-ing dare touch this line of code!!
'I can't figure out what it does but everything blows up without it
I moved to a different job a couple of years ago but at my last one a couple of our developers were still supporting a VB6 app for the provincial government!

I determined that it is possible to install and use VB6 on Windows 11 🤣
 
Got a busy day starting now
Have to machine a bunch of parts.
Cutting down a tree for my neighbor as he is going on a fishing trip.

Cleaning out my car, so I can pick up a new one, and then back to work.
 
I sold my daughter's Jeep WJ for $500 tonight. Good riddance. This is the one with the bent frame from being rear-ended. The guy I sold it to bought it for his 3 kids to bomb around their farm.
 
If you take those new rides out, stretch their legs, that I get.
The times in the not too distant future is changing things.
Would you get the same enjoyment for shaking down a classic bike or car as you would an EV?
If you can answer yes to both of those questions, you'll be just fine.
I can't unfortunately:(
I'm bitter as a result.
