Plenty of things to do

Some days ago me and my wife watched the landing on
Mars event, and it was really special.
Although not much could be seen, besides people
talking, and eventually jumping on their seats in joy,
it was a very exciting moment, and you could perceive
the great sense of achievement of those who worked to
it.
It was very inspirational from one side, while from the
other it reminded me of how I didn't accomplish much so
far, in my professional life.
There are people who land rovers on Mars, there are
those who write kernels, those who clean up the
oceans[1], and those who fix our planet by planting
milions of trees[2].
About me, I can call it a big deal if I manage to
produce some software from time to time. And being
that I'm such a perfectionist, my throughput is so
slow, even if I did manage to improve a little on that
side.
I've got a milion of little projects in my mind, and I
can hardly wrap one up.

Projects too! Or Ecosia! Or so
many more!
