3.27 minutes ago, I finally resolved an issue that could have been avoided with the proper documentation.

3.27 minutes ago, I felt torn between having lost 4 hours of my life and being "grateful for the experience."

3.27 minutes ago plus the four hours prior, I was painfully reminded, as I am all too often, of the importance of thinking outside the moment you're standing in - especially as a programmer or anyone who creates something to be used, tweaked, and interpreted by future custodians.

3.26 minutes ago, Don't Be Stupid Tuesday was born.

Starting this afternoon, and every Tuesday to come to uncertainty, I will post for your pleasure (and hopefully your empathy) my musings on the small things in life you can focus on to make yourself a little less "stupid."

That is, I want to share some antecdotal -let's call them "recommendations"- on how one might go about functioning well in a world that has OTHER PEOPLE IN IT (besides just you!) A commentary on how to better yourself as a functioning member of society, if you will.  Most of these tips will spawn from my specific adventures as a php-developer-slash-swiss-army-web-everything, but I hope that even if you don't speak the same flavor of programese as me (or, if you don't speak it at all), you can still take something away from the whole mess of it.

I hope you'll share comments or recommendations on future posts I can plug into this category.

And please, don't hesitate to share some #stupidtuesday of your own!
