Lately, I've really been fed up with gas fees... The mainnet feels like going to a vegetable market to buy a bunch of scallions and having to wait in line for a ticket. My compromise approach is pretty simple: for small daily transactions, I mostly use L2 to keep the experience smooth; anyway, frequent "bug fixing" doesn't hurt my feelings. But when it comes to big moves like authorization, position migration, or clearing out, I still prefer to do it on the mainnet—it's more expensive, but I sleep better. There's also a little pitfall I remind myself of: don't be too superstitious about the labels on on-chain data tools. Recently, some people have been complaining about lag and being misled, so now I prefer to look more at the transaction path and the contract itself, even if it takes two more minutes to confirm. Gardening is about saving water, but don't let the roots get overwatered.
