I'm taking this as a reminder to treat every machine like its about to catch fire, any machine with a user regularly using it already has the match lit.  I need to go through and commit draft blog posts, dirty homelab POC's need to get out or get in, and not forever be in limbo.  My efforts this year have been well intention ed to keep projects clean, on main, not dirty, but I think agents are making it worse before they make it better.  I have some new ideas forming and old ideas for managing this have failed me.
