Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

Wait. Stop. Someone grab that person. That person is about to fall into the pit of endless details. Oh no. It’s too late!

I know it’s about to happen. I should be able to do something to stop it. Oh no. It happened too fast. There is nothing I can do.

The other person fell into the pit of endless details.

I asked for an overview of a constellation of satellites. The other person is drawing a diode, an RLC circuit, and their is ground. Details. Details. And more details. The details are endless. What about the overview? It is gone. Now we are discussing the color code on the resistors.

Is there any way to climb out of this pit? I haven’t found one yet. I should not have asked this person a question. This person lives too close to the edge of the pit. As much as the conversation is often entertaining and enlightening, there is always that danger. That pit is right there.

Stay away. Stay safe. We can do better.
