• MEEP MEEP! And other tales of brute-forcing things
• Why an interpretive dance is the last thing Johnny would ever want to do
• Why providing IT services for a non-technical org is harder than it looks
• Managing one's ratio of dedication to good work-life balance, and seeing it more clearly from the manager vs individual contributor perspective
• Kendall's evil overlord tendencies
• The stress of over-accountability vs authority
• Dispassionate leadership and when it's right to focus on the outcomes only
• Johnny's enjoyment of recreational falling down and cookie baking
