Not now chief, I'm in the fuckin' zone.
it's a weird feeling when you have a project that u sperg'd pretty hard over for a month or two; micromanaging many details in it's architecture and execution, tweaking, etc.

and then one day you sorta just forget about and let it roll

come back to it like a few years later, and realize it's been suiting the gently caress out of your needs....and didn't need your spergy meddling

it's fine, you don't need to update it every week with a new firmware or w/e


e.g my DD-WRT router, my ATV2, my drivebender based NAS box
