I’ve been programming for… 25 years? And I feel like I keep on making the same mistakes. Not because I’m not better at it, but because the mistakes are a result of me, of my personality, of my anxiety, of my laziness, of my inability to let shit go.
Me. Not tech. Not skill. Not experience. Just me.

And is it really a waste of time?
Because doing the quick and dirty version is a goldmine of knowledge.
Maybe you just have to do it.
Or maybe you should.
Or maybe I’m just rationalizing.
Who knows.
It's nowhere near objective.
It tries to act rational, but it's not.
( What could be more human than that ?)
We get older, and maybe wiser, but also keep falling back into the same traps, and asking the same questions.
