That's just paprika commitment.

Read a piece last week about how junior devs learn differently now. It said remote work forces clearer questions since you can't just point at a screen. But yeah, overhearing fixes in an office teaches stuff you don't know to ask about. Honestly miss those chaotic days for that reason, even if my back doesn't miss the cheap chairs.

Noticed this happens with everything, not just DIY. We buy too much food, pack too many clothes, fill our calendars. Feels like a human thing to overprepare.

Remember those old POST code cards? I kept one tucked in my toolkit and it saved me so many times with bad SIMMs. Just pull one, boot, check the code, and repeat until it posted lol. That manual fix felt like a real win when it finally worked.

But honestly, how many times have we actually walked into a crane path? Most sites have spotters and barriers for a reason. I get the noise thing, but we used to complain about loud equipment giving us headaches. Now it's quiet and we're finding new things to worry about. People adjust fast, remember when hard hats felt weird? Now we don't leave home without them.
