Russell and I got on a Zoom meeting to work on some CSS and JavaScript issues with the snow owl theme. Both he and I were trading back and forth. Most times, I had my screen showing and both of use were drawing, talking, and filling things in. We used some remote control options to allow Russell to do things on my screen. Lots of debugging and searching around. We ended up making a new little branch and taking some other notes on the technical side of things.

These are a few of my other notes from our conversation. The concept of maintenance may be restated as... "prioritizing what we want to let fail or let go". Sometimes there is just too much to do. Often, we talk about maintenance as keeping up with stuff or even being ahead of the curve. Well, what happens if you can't keep up? It turns into a decision of what do we want to let go or what can we let go of? No fun, but sometimes very needed as well.

If you get bigger, as a company, you also have to become bigger in practice as well. There are so many cause and effect decisions with trying to be bigger or trying to stay or be smaller. Often, you get either small and flexible or bigger and rigid. It's really hard to be big and flexible. We were using the analogy of a bike and train. If you want to go almost anywhere, you need a bike. However, if you want to be efficient and carry a ton, you need the train.

Anyways, we had some good conversations as we worked on code and CSS changes. Good meeting.
