beautiful quote.

Also ChatGPT is insanely useful for turning fragmented YT transcripts with timestamps into actual paragraphs of text.

"Fuck your deadline. They call it a deadline but nobody actually fucking dies if you miss one. So just fucking chill."

"PowerPoint - there is no power in those points and no point in those presentations. We have been brainwashed into believing that PowerPoint gives us the power to express ourselves creatively, but the only power it has is to kill our souls. Powerpoint and your Excel spreadsheet too - those columns and rows represent the metal bars of the prison cell of your brain. Free yourself from the soul-killing software of exile and PowerPoint and live a more meaningful existence. "

Regarding deadlines, I absolutely adore this quote by Douglas Adams:

> I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.

It's basically the same as yours, but instead of telling you not to care, Adams basically demonstrates the peace of mind he seems to have achieved by not caring himself. Plus, he apparently had a reputation for not delivering his manuscripts on time, so it seems to be genuine :)
