I used to screw around with that quite a bit. At the time it was fun. Now I&amp;#x27;m all about minimum time to productivity.&lt;p&gt;Turns out there are technical terms for the behavior. For OSes, you and I are satisficers: we just want it to be good enough. I used to be a maximizer, where I wanted it to be perfect.&lt;p&gt;Learning to choose which approach to take in a situation has been really great. For example, restaurant menus. I used to be a maximizer, trying to pick the best thing. Eventually I decided agonizing over my choice was a fair bit of stress for little or no gain; it was easy to finish my meal and think, &amp;quot;Damn, maybe I should have gotten that other thing.&amp;quot; Now I just skim the menu and go with the first thing that looks good to me.</text><parent_chain><item><author>jasonkester</author><text>I sometimes feel like I&amp;#x27;m the only developer who doesn&amp;#x27;t want to spend all his free time fiddling around with his operating system.&lt;p&gt;To me, that&amp;#x27;s not developing.
