Read_915 - Thank You For Being Annoying

I dive into Adam Mastroianni’s piece “Thank You for Being
Annoying” and use it as a launchpad to rant about work, love, and
why being constantly irritated might be a feature, not a bug.
From broken file‑sharing workflows to terrible movie adaptations
and contradictory economic ideas, I walk through how annoyance
has quietly steered my biggest projects.
What if the right question isn’t “What do you love?” but “What
bugs you so much you can’t walk away?”
