A legacy system dies two deaths.

The first, when the last line of code is removed from production.

The second, when its design stops wielding influence over its successor(s).

In other words, legacy never dies. Be kind to your working systems.

Vivid memory of waking up at 3am with a genius idea, so obvious and grand that of course I'll remember it in the morning.

No memory of what that idea was.

Not sure if this actually happened or only a dream. Not sure it matters. Want that idea.

Y'all, this is a big damn deal: "Christianity Today", which is the biggest publication in the world of Evangelical Christianity, has come out in support of not just impeachment but *removal" of Donald Trump.

Note to self: Tucking that important bill to pay into that important book to read is not, on its own, a winning strategy for remembering to do both.
