You built it another.
The distance between them is drift.

The GC has the documentation. The GC has the schedule. And somehow, it's always your fault.
I built BlackHyve because I was tired of losing arguments I should have won. Tired of guessing whether we were making money until the job was over. Tired of the pit in my stomach every time someone asked about hours or costs and I had to say "I'll get back to you."
