All's well here at The Dispatch. The snails have had a real spurt of productivity this week. They've done a lot of cleaning and organizing around the house, which has been actually very helpful and the space feels nicer overall. They say that they're trying to get their act together. We don't quite understand what prompted this, or what specifically they think all this tidying up will help with. But it's nice to have them cleaning up after themselves.

  • really easy to know that code is related when in the same file
  • hard to know what other files a document belongs with
  • might just be my personal experience pendulum swing
