But no matter how skilled you are and how good you are with a knife fight the No. 1 rule of knife fighting is don't be in a knife fight.
I switched to Mac about a decade ago. For a while I thought Windows' "one task bar item per window" was smarter than Mac's "one Dock item per application". Now I'm not sure (and I noticed Windows has drifted to Mac's approach) but I do know I tend to have too many windows open.

I used to do the MIT Mystery Hunt, but realized that the toughest puzzle hunt designed for placing no resource restrictions on the puzzle loving subset of some of the cleverest folk in the world is not the place for a guy who low key hates puzzles...
Every year the Hunt is set up by the team that won the previous year... Years ago I would be on Team LAAEFTR (Left As an Exercise For The Reader) a little team that punched above its weight (the competition is dominated by these MASSIVE teams spanning the globe)
We used to joke about the teams humble-ish ambitions "the only thing worse than coming in last is coming in first" (where we'd be on the hook to construct next years puzzle) but sometime in the COVID/quarantine era Sarah, the team's stalwart leader, starting working with a larger team that won! She talks about her time building puzzles here
RIP George Foreman! I was just thinking if I should get a Lean Mean Grilling Machine....
