Life is messy, doing something is nearly always better than doing nothing - but we have to let ourselves off the hook when we (inevitably) can’t do everything. Streaks make that harder. Duolingo I am looking HARD at you.

Tech dorks are always extremely eager to show off proof-of-concept demos. Yeah, it's cool that your widget can do that. It's better than not having the widget.
But is it better *enough* that it was worth it to build the widget, instead of something else that was more useful? (probably not)
