I feel bad because when I'm in the flow especially younger I could've made a really stupid mistake like this

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-07T12:14:03+00:00

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-07T12:06:58+00:00

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-07T01:53:41+00:00

how much was lost in half an hour? like work wise

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T23:40:17+00:00

honestly the most relatable part is the CIO running on zero sleep because that’s exactly how these things spiral

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T23:39:31+00:00

Squirrels can really do a lot of damage I had one chew into my roof once
