You're right. I'm starting to think that I've become allergic to any kind of experimentation or prototyping without lots of internet sources backing up the exact parameters of what I want.
For a decade now I've thought "If I can think of it, someone online has also thought of it and done it better, I just need to find their example/build plans and if I can't find it that's because I'm not using the right search terms" and a lot of the time that's true but it's also a license to be lazy and dismiss trying things that might be failures or might be hard :thinkdick:
I should stop doing that.
