Chill Regular-ass Post

Someone from my former side gig (who is also a friend of mine) contacted me good-naturedly complaining that they’d had to hire four different consultants to do what I used to do by myself, and in far less time. On a project that’s still not done after weeks, that I used to handle in a few hours.

So that was nice.
