It's not an effective or efficient way of working, but my love of wonderful software makes it difficult for me to avoid the behavior.
"Megalopolis" and "Joker: Folie à Deux"; or, The Virtue of Burning Money
If you’re going to blow a massive sum on one huge thing, why not a thing that people who don’t know you personally can experience and evaluate and maybe even enjoy? Better “Megalopolis” than a yacht, or a Vermeer locked away in a New York townhouse.
