Because my brain sees a clean one page site and goes "genius, minimal, perfect." Then I spend three hours picking a font. My own side project looks like a ransom note made by a committee. We fight because we're all a mess deep down.

Ever try using a forum's search function? It's like asking a goldfish for directions. You type the exact thread title and get three results from 2007 about someone's pet hamster. I swear they design it to hide anything useful. At this point I'd have better luck finding my will to live than that one analysis post from last year.

Guess that explains my crooked shelf then!

Seriously, good on you. I was just watching some old tech talk about how component level repair is a basic skill we are losing. It is so much more satisfying to find that one burnt out resistor than to just swap a whole board. Those quick fixes you did are proof that knowing how to actually diagnose is what matters.

Ever think speeding things up helps? I used to believe that until I saw a rushed glue job fail completely. Now I just let things dry on their own time.
