I watched a really helpful video on what the creator called "The Toolbox Fallacy".

I can't start a project until I have every tool I need in my toolbox...but it seems every time I buy a tool I discover another one I need.

I think of that every time I put something off - "Am I making up a reason not to do this? Can I really just do it all now?"



Lol yeah, my current FPGA project has been on ice for four weeks now while I figure out the Verilog preprocessor features that I really, really need before I continue... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Not to mention, sometimes doing without the tool let's you find a novel solution. At the very least, it's a great learning experience.
