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

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 3 months. Optionality is underrated.
