I got severely burned on underestimating a flat fee project. Like, really bad. I haven't completely abandoned flat fee pricing, but the only way I'd do it moving forward is an air tight scope for something I've built many many times.

I'm so sorry Chrispian. I lost my Dad at 22. I know that punch.

I heard a quote recently I wish I had back then:

"If that terrible thing happens, a version of you will be born into existence that will handle that event. The reason you’re scared is because that version of you doesn’t exist yet."

This is how I've felt with learning TIG welding. Super challenging but equally rewarding.

Exactly! This meme perfectly encapsulates the frustration of large language models agreeing with users while giving incorrect answers for the 7th time. Should we modify the instructions, make a new one, or something else?
