Lately, I've been getting a bit annoyed with testing network point farming. It was supposed to be just practice, but as I kept going, I started to think, "Did I miss out on some gains?" Honestly, this kind of thing is most likely to drag people into sunk costs. My stop-loss is pretty simple: at most two hours per test network plus a weekend, if I go over, I stop. I'd rather miss out than do extra work; I also make it clear why I'm doing this (learning interaction, understanding mechanisms, or just farming). If my purpose changes, I delete the reminder directly.
Outside, there's talk about regional tax increases and compliance, sometimes tightening, sometimes loosening. Expectations for deposits and withdrawals fluctuate wave after wave, and emotions easily transfer to this kind of "point anxiety." The more uncertain it is, the more I want to grab everything I can... Anyway, I won't follow the hype for now.
There's just too much information, and I can't handle it all. Right now, I filter out two types: one is whether there are clear rules or budget allocations, and the other is whether the team dares to specify boundary conditions. As for the rest of the noise, I just ignore it for now.
