I recently did a "mindset version update" for myself: v1.0 is purely for practice, running testnets, reporting bugs, and I was quite happy; v1.1 started conversations about points and airdrop expectations, and I got itchy; by v1.2 I realized something was off—practice turned into KPIs, and people also became very cheap.

My current two stop-loss points are: first, time-based stop-loss—if I exceed my set working hours, I stop, even if I miss out; second, emotional stop-loss—once I start fixating on that anxiety of "everyone else is grinding," it means I’m no longer here to learn… I’ll log off first. Developers talking about modularization and the DAO layer are lively, but users looking confused is actually quite real. I don’t want to force-fit the narrative just for the story; anyway, seeing a bit of genuine usage is enough.
