Talking to my buddy about The Expanse changed how I watch sci-fi now

My buddy did the same thing with Battlestar Galactica. He just said "its about 9/11 and the war on terror" and I sat there for a minute. Then I rewatched the first episode and saw the suicide bombers and the military occupation stuff and it clicked hard. It never felt the same after that. Sometimes one little comment can just break open a whole show for you. It makes you feel kinda dumb for not seeing it yourself honestly.

Heard a CEO say his startup scrapped 18 months of code in a weekend

My buddy owns a small accounting firm and had something sort of similar happen. They spent like a year building a custom system to track client tax stuff, then the CRA changed their digital filing rules out of nowhere. Whole thing was toast. He ended up just buying some off the shelf software and it did the job in like a weekend. Makes you wonder if all that planning is even worth it when the rules keep shifting like sand.
