      How much to let reality (or the perception of reality) get in the way of a good idea

      • How to decide where to invest our most valuable resources as developers (e.g. time).
      • What is the ultimate goal?
      • For me a related question is: how do I be myself (a bit of a realist) without seeming like a debbie downer all the time.
