Why would you want to fail early? Or at all? Yeah, it came up again. And again. Yesterday and today. I saw more entrepreneurs and “influencers” sharing that silly fail early stuff on social media.

Taps and lights out I remember (at least a little) when Taps was played during the funeral proceedings for President Kennedy. But I didn’t remember the bugler’s clinkers during the minute long song.
