Isn't it crazy how we all know shortcuts fail, but we still try them? It's like we have to learn the hard way every single time. Taking that extra step from the start saves so much trouble later.

Yeah that bit about "giving it better tools" hits home. Honestly I see this everywhere now. Like cooking shows where they use digital timers instead of just guessing, it doesn't make them less of a chef. Or how musicians use apps to fix one wrong note in a whole song. The skill is still the main thing, the tech just cleans up the messy edges we used to have to live with.
