Can we talk about the underrated side of indie in real life

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the conversation for a while.

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. pc got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. The 7-minute rule is underrated.

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.
