Man that whole "one good thing then back to nothing" fear is real. It's like how you clean your house for 3 hours and get one compliment then nobody notices for weeks. The brain just zeroes in on the dropoff.

1500 problems with his coffee?" That's wild, I think I'd burn out after maybe 100 of those. Seems like some people just have a totally different gear for grinding through code.

The whole "you're not a real fan" thing is just gatekeeping dressed up as taste, and it's everywhere now. I see it with how people watch movies at home too like if you don't have a 4K setup with surround sound you're apparently not appreciating the director's vision. It's exhausting honestly, watching things should be fun not a competition about who cares more.

0.3% for 3 weeks and you didn't catch it sooner? That must have been painful to see. I ran a campaign once for a local car dealership and realized we were targeting people interested in "luxury watches" instead of "auto repair." The numbers were horrible for a month before I noticed. It's amazing how easy it is to just trust the setup without double checking those tiny dropdown options.

Man that sucks. Guess we both learned the hard way that saving $20 on compound costs way more in the long run.
