When you least expect it. From a KB article that no one read. One day, a library you are using will die, and you’ll have to rewrite that code. My advice? Make sure what you are doing with that library is well-written, well-designed, and makes complete logical sense (comments and documentation are a given). Because one day, that super critical library you are working with, will die.

The most passive sentence ever uttered when someone says “they don’t have it”. What this really means… I probably haven’t, but I didn’t read it. I’m overloaded and have no time to read it. I saw it, but chose to ignore it for other priorities. I don’t use that medium, so there is no value in it going there. Take your pick, ask the receiver which category they fall into, and then figure out your next step from there in how to work with them. “I Sent it to you” isn’t a path to making things better.

The Last 10% of any project is the hardest and takes the longest – mentally – of the entire project. I don’t know how long it will take you or what it takes to complete it.

They are in short supply, but when you have one, they will make every project succeed by finishing that last 10% that the

So now the question is, when is the next someday going to come, because we know the next storm is going to be just as rough.

Coding will always be a creative endeavour to me – forever and ever. Use a different Framework. Try out a new SDK. Connect to a new API or MCP Integrate with another platform. Use Dependency Injection. Scope your Agent. Trigger from an Event. Any and all of these can be decided and created in a variety of different ways, and they can all be done creatively and with reckless abandon. Don’t code like a machine, code like an artist.
