  2. Regulations and standards are two sides of the same coin.

    February 1, 2022

  3. How many chances do you give someone to "change" and fail at it before becoming punitive? See also, how many times do you let someone not respect your boundaries before banhammering them from your life?

  10. @evanpro I've thought a lot about my success metric over the years: to live & work on my own terms/integrity, do good work, do new work, push limits of understanding, pave a path into the future. Guess I don't really see those options reflected, esp the "my own terms/integrity".
