As soon as I got DEMI bra, I could imagine what it was, and it's certainly a familiar term in bra marketing, but it was weird to me that when I googled I couldn't get just, like, a bra wiki with bra types, but instead just got commercial sites trying to sell me bras. Some of my problems were slightly gendered, in that DEMI bra was not at all familiar to me, and jewelry designers? Not anything I pay attention to or care about. I just didn't get a *hit* from many of these clues and answers. Makes me think of the joy of having to change one or more of my roughly 3,000 passwords. DATA BREACH is a fine answer, but seemed so promising as a clue, like I was going to get some kind of cool slang, but all I got was a depressing real-world problem.
I'm not as thrilled by tech stuff as some are, so something like EXECUTABLE leaves me cold. It didn't work for me, but I don't think that means it didn't work. It just wasn't on my wavelength and the cluing often seemed off or awkward and for that reason (and possibly others) it played sluggish, more like a Saturday, and with little of that Friday "wheeeee" factor I always look forward to. It's not as sizzling and bouncy and fresh as the best Fridays, but that NW corner looks pretty good, and the grid seems pretty clean overall.
I guess I could say this about a lot of puzzles, but when I look over the grid now, it seems fine. In retrospect, I wish I'd enjoyed solving this more.
