I remember a buddy in college showed up one day to cafeteria lunch super excited about heroin, “it’s not such a big deal, and feels great”, he dropped out two weeks later and I never saw him again.

This book articulates something I’ve fought for my whole career: goals and team metrics lead to mediocre outcomes. Actually novel work must be exploratory.

Everyone is sharing their stories, I have a similar one was in the hospital for three days with a kidney stone, they gave me fentanyl for the pain. On the last day I was better but still asked for more because I was bored. Can see how that quickly goes downhill.
