I only realized after I started recording that stop-loss really is like a breakup: the more you want to "wait and see," the easier it is to wear yourself down to emotional collapse, and you also end up paying a bunch of opportunity cost "interest." Honestly, admitting you were wrong earlier can free up your mind to do the next thing.
Recently, modularization and the DA layer narrative have become popular again, with developers talking animatedly, while users are mostly confused. I'm not in a rush to pick a side; first, I break down the project: where the money comes from, how incentives continue, whether unlocking will press you to the ground and grind you down. The biggest benefit of recording this is—next time I encounter the same trap, I can recognize it at a glance and avoid wasting energy fighting myself.
