 Regarding Ship's Knee There are two important documents online that inform this discussion. The Plat Map The first is the plat map from 1959 available here Here is a zoom I made of the important part of this map showing lot 16 (where I live) and the surrounding lots. I encourage you to follow the link above too, to get the original document. ARCGIS Map The other is the Charles County argis map https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/320f3c8649f74bc89a84df8d5c41d175/page/Map-Page/ You'll have to scroll/zoom the map yourself.  We are in the northern "peak" of Charles County on the map. Here is a zoomed image I made of the map   Explanation When we (the Fishmans) bought our property, it was the first time we ever bought a property that required that we travel over easements to get to a public road.  ALL the "roads" in the Moyaone in Charles County, even Old Landing and Steamboat are privately owned.  You can see this on the arcgis tax map.  To get to my hous...

 In software engineering, accumulating code behind a release wall is akin to gathering water behind a dam. Just as a dam must be built higher and stronger to contain an increasing volume of water, the more code we delay releasing, the more resources we must allocate to prevent a catastrophic flood—major bugs or system failures—while also managing the inevitable trickles—minor issues and defects. Frequent, smaller releases act like controlled spillways, effectively managing the flow of updates and reducing the risk of overwhelming both the system and the team. The ideal of ci/cd may not be achievable for all teams, but smaller and faster is always better.
