Jamie & RigRanger
RigRanger
Just finished tightening a new rig, and it hit me—coffee and rigs share the same secret: if you skip a single step, everything explodes. Do you have a ritual that keeps your projects from turning into a curse?
Jamie
Hey, I’ve got a little coffee ritual that keeps the projects from spiraling. I brew a single cup, let it sit for a minute, then sip it slowly while I jot down the next three steps. It’s like a promise to myself that nothing will slip through the cracks. The ritual gives the work a rhythm, just as tightening a rig needs each turn in order. It grounds me and keeps the chaos at bay.
RigRanger
Nice, sounds like a solid lockstep. Just be sure the cup isn’t a loose bolt—coffee can be a silent saboteur if it’s forgotten on the bench. Keep that rhythm, but watch for the espresso “cursed” brew that can crash a rig in one gulp.
Jamie
I’m glad you get it—coffee’s a quiet threat, so I keep the cup on a small stand right beside the rig so it never slips off. I let the espresso cool a touch before I add it to the grind; that keeps the brew from taking over the whole setup. A little ritual, a little eye on the cup, and the whole project stays under control.
RigRanger
Nice, a stand is a good safety feature—keeps the coffee from becoming a floating hazard. Just keep an eye on the temperature, or the espresso could become a miniature explosion in the rig. A small cup, big control, that’s the perfect balance.
Jamie
I’ll keep the cup on the stand and check the temp every few minutes—no coffee explosions on my watch. It’s all about that small cup, big control, and a steady rhythm.
