Keynote Day 1
summary
Keynote argues stress accumulates in tiny increments rather than from one big event and chasing a big win becomes a destructive fantasy. It prescribes boring continuous fixes instead of dramatic rewrites: small daily progress, write a daily list (20–30 items appeared in a quick exercise) and triage what can be acted on now. Delegation to newly hired engineers reduces load and restores clarity. Sabbaticals or huge overhauls rarely fix problems that crept in slowly.
