me: This user interface is easy to use, intuitive and will survive the test of time.

my users:

A whole bunch of lots of “U by Kotex Sleek Tampons, Regular Absorbency” manufactured over the last TWO YEARS are being recalled because of a manufacturing defect that made them fall apart upon removal, as well as causing injuries and reactions to the materials.

also, an unpopular opinion in certain proprietary circles: publication != preservation. that is, casting everything in cement doesn't necessarily help you anyway. so be amenable and empathetic. particularly about name changes.

ORCIDs (ID indirection) definitely help handle this at a metadata/discovery level. yet non-normative changes to PDFs should be very reasonable. As a person working in the long-term preservation world: preservation doesn't require/imply immutability! [🐦 🔗 https://twitter.com/kiwinerd/status/1072893966566051840 ]

Is your jaw clenched? Let it loosen.

part of the reason I'm always on about open source and intellectual property rights is because I *want* people to build off my ideas/tools and use them as launching pads for their own original thoughts. so truly, I'm thrilled when people "copy" me. it means I've inspired someone! and that's all the impact I can hope for :)

It's amazing how little we change :P.
