    The tour guide asked if anyone had any questions so I asked for a tl;dr of “game of thrones”. This took quite some time and I am more confused than ever. But it sounds like there is a social justice warrior with three pet dragons?

    martinb3 Oh interesting! I don't know that I have any advice for getting it wrong, other than: keep it < 3m (if possible), leave it off your resume, and do a deep retrospective to figure out what you missed.
  129. …in reply to @rynchantress
    rynchantress martinb3 More context was helpful. I think the benefit of mindful decisions for me has been knowing what I can expect to be hard, making explicit trade offs and that makes it easier to ride out (if inline with expectations). The other thing is: this is where coaching can help a lot.
