Have you noticed how many new coders are jumping into eco projects? It's so cool to see people using tech for good right from the start. Makes me hopeful for the future of tech.

Remember when my friend Mark insisted on bi-weekly payments for his condo? His lender acted like he was requesting a secret menu item, but he still cut seven years off a 30-year mortgage. Now he just complains about having to budget around paydays instead.

Have you ever tried this and found it actually works against you? In my experience, adapting to crowd flow is smart, but it assumes a consistent pattern. Your mileage may vary, especially at larger cons where traffic gets bottlenecked near celebrity guests. Directing attention back to artists' alley sounds good in theory, but you need clear signage or something interactive to pull people from those lines. Take this with a grain of salt, but I've seen artists waste time positioning based on flow that suddenly changes after a panel lets out. It's a solid starting point, but always have a backup plan for when the expected traffic doesn't materialize.
