Don't work 12 hour days to get milestone X out, because there are dozens more milestones so don't get burnt on trying to get this one out yesterday. It would probably be more like, don't use 200% to get this out and then quit or burn yourself to 0% or a few % in a year when we want you to extend and maintain this stuff.
Cool, but I'm not sure the victims and the public are always thrilled when they see murderers get off by reason of insanity, despite it being a life sentence and essentially a medically induced solitary mental confinement. People were furious about Yates and Bobbitt despite not even living within a 1000 mile radius because they felt it was a miscarriage of justice and are aware that rehabilitating people who drowned their own children is naive at best or yet another grift to siphon public money into their own pet projects and feign moral superiority.
If someone kills a family member and the court gives them 6 years and a parole officer, the remaining family will and has taken justice into their own hands and that has a much higher blast radius and margin of error than executing a guy convicted of the murder in a court of law and sat on death row making appeals for 10-15 years.
If dylan roof was allowed to live his full natural life in jail, there would be race riots in the US by the end of the press conference.
A few years ago I saw a vape with a full display that played a pac man clone aside from the state and settings, and now I have a drawer of random vape screens and components that I swear i'm going to use one of these years.
I've done exactly this with MCP

It started as unshare and ended up being a bit of a yakshaving endeavor to make things work but i was able to get some surprisingly good results using gemma3 locally and giving it access to run arbitrary debian based utilities.
I've used chromecast to power all my "dumb" tvs for years and being able to use my laptop or any phone that's on the wifi has been amazing to avoid using a clunky roko or firetv interface. Sad to see one of the most personally useful pieces of google tech ending.
I've seen clean code lead to over-architected and unmaintainable nightmares that ended up with incorrect abstractions that became much more of a problem than performance.
The more the years pile up the more I agree with the sentiment in this post, generally going for something that works and is as optimal of code as I would get if I was to come back to make it more performance oriented in the future, I end up with something generally as simple as I can get. Languages and libs are generally abstract enough in most cases and any extra design patterning and abstracting is generally going to bite you in the ass more than it's going to save you from business folks coming in with unknown features.
I suppose, write code that is conscious of its memory and CPU footprint and avoid trying to guess what features may or may not reuse what parts from your existing routines, and try even harder to avoid writing abstractions that are based on your guesses of the future.
