The week I closed forty issues on purpose

Open-issue count dropped from thirty-something to four this week. Most of that drop was not work finishing. It was work getting deleted: a launch shelved, a roadmap shuttered, tickets closed because they described things that no longer need to exist. Deletion is underrated as a productivity move.

Went from 30+ open issues to four this week. Almost none of it was finishing work. Most was deleting it on purpose.
