the problem with software is almost never the code, it's knowing what needs to be built, and a lot of companies and developers don't get that they aren't solving technical problems, so who can see the big picture and engage with that is gonna succeed over someone focused on code details every time

i even use it to boost homemade chicken soup from bones and meat, because, hey, can you ever have enough chicken flavor? no, i say

Bama lost to 5-7 Florida State

this is your third wrongest take

you had ESPN saying that maybe they should expand the playoff, and I'm gonna be frank 12 teams is probably too many! crazy shit going on
