Notes - Lean Architecture
Great design is finding just the right solution that let's you have your cake and eat it too, but competent design is realising when the business just won't allow such magic, owning up to that realisation, and making hard decisions based on the consequences of that realisation.
This is probably the most difficult thing to do if you are a perfectionist and it takes a toll to continuously keep doing this. Together with this should also go a warning that know what is your compromise limit.
Notes - Lean Architecture
A culture of stopping or slowing down to get the quality right the first time to enhance productivity in the long run

after ages
after ages back on dance floor... music and rhythm and beats and expression and emotion and so much more... yes it was simple and easy but to feel it coming back it has been a pleasure... don't forget this feeling!
social media & opinion
I tend to go on and off social media and I have never given it much thought why... I suspect there is a reason, must be.
Last couple of days I have randomly scrolling media (social and otherwise)... and something struck me, everyone has an opinion and everyone wants to say something talk about something. I always thought to have an opinion you have to be well read, understand the subject matter, understand the audience, understand situation and even understand opposing point of views. Opinion was expressing yourself in context of what you know about and be ready to change it as more information comes your way. But it isn't the case anymore it seems everyone "wants" to have a opinion as soon as the first piece of information comes our way. The word opinion has become almost same as random thought with no or almost no knowledge.
Opinion, leadership and confidence were meant to have depth... and come from a genuine place of knowledge.
The world could do with little less opinion and a lot more living by example.

random thought
To discover oneself is as important as anything else in life and so is to accept oneself.
