- To that point, we should use our time to come up with more of a plan
- We should ensure that our streaming setup is more resistant to technical difficulties, and that there is no single point of failure if something goes wrong.
- We stretched ourselves very thin. We should try to delegate more effectively so we can carry the weight of our ambitions.
