Giving Up for Effectiveness (heroku.com)

I understand this cruel look at productivity, but I see my projects as labour of love and make an emotional investment in them. I enjoy making them work just right and spending that little extra time to be attentive to detail. I am not sure if such an approach would work for my personality.


I know I need to be more efficient on when I give up on something, even if it's just for the night.

Maybe it's due to a shifted schedule and sleep deprivation, but I seem to be having a lot of these this week, where things are a lot clearer the following morning.


Should this apply to human relationships as well?


so heroku isn't dead?
