A gentle rant about maintenance and expectations after a tiny failure
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where routes stopped feeling new.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 9 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
