For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong. Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed. Nothing is as inevitable as a mistake whose time has come. I have often regretted my speech, never my silence. Good judgement comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgement.
The first rule of intelligent tinkering is to save all the parts. We are all lost at sea, washed between hope and despair, hailing something that may never come to rescue us. Sort of been there. Sort of done that. Woohoo is the expression, I think.
