inGot food poisoning off gas station sushi in Tulsa and now I refuse to start a new show unless all seasons are out
Doing the finished-series check kind of kills the fun for me though. Half the joy of a good show is getting to wonder what happens next with everyone else while it airs, and binging it all after the fact feels like showing up to a party after everybody left. Your Tulsa story is rough and all, but waiting years to watch something because season 4 might flop seems like a raw deal. Some of the best shows I've watched got cut early, and I'd still rather have the ride than skip it.

inWhy I won't hire from Toronto's fintech scene anymore, and what happened at a demo day that made me sure
Man, this reminds me of a buddy who ran a bar in Moncton and got pitched by a POS vendor that had the prettiest dashboard he'd ever seen. Took him four months to find out the thing couldn't split a tab between two cards without crashing, and by then he'd already switched his whole floor over to it during a holiday weekend. He lost his mind, went back to the old clunky terminal, and told me the ugly one never once dropped a payment. That's the whole game right there, the boring stuff nobody puts on a slide is the stuff that keeps you open on a Saturday night. Your chargeback question probably made that team sweat because they knew the answer was "we don't have one." Good on you for saying it out loud even if the room went quiet.

inSerious question, did a 2 week stretch of perfect mortar ruin me for normal jobs?
That perfect stretch didn't ruin you, it just showed you what good conditions look like so now you can spot when the mud is the problem. Fighting through bad sand with the same mix is how you lose a whole day, so yeah, change the mix, wetter or drier depending on the weather.
