The site name's a play on "The Onion" so it's gotta be satire, right? I couldn't find an about page to confirm.

Some on here once described the idea of an innovation budget. Basically you can do about 3 new things at once before you forget what the hell you are doing and that has made so much sense to me.

Looks like you also ran over your sentence budget.

I'll honest I was so tired that I barely got out that last sentence as I was typing.

It's not that you forget what you are doing.

It's that all the unknown problems start interfering with each other, so you can't manage to do anything.

That is probably most common! The forgetting what you are doing part probably only comes so far down the road of trying to make a system that works despite all the interferences.
