The Paralysis of Infinite Optimization

#INTP#Productivity#Perfectionism

In a universe of endless possibilities, we often find ourselves paralyzed by choice. The same principle applies to coding - with hundreds of frameworks, thousands of libraries, and countless architectural patterns, we spend more time choosing tools than building solutions.

The Analysis Paralysis Problem

Every morning, developers around the world wake up to a barrage of new tools, frameworks, and "revolutionary" approaches. React vs Vue. Rust vs Go. The choices are endless.

The INTP Loop

As an INTP, this hits harder. We want the perfect system. We want to architect a cathedral before we lay a single brick. But code isn't stone; it's fluid. The perfect system doesn't exist because the requirements change the moment you start building.

The Solution: Artificial Constraints

The only way out is to arbitrarily limit yourself. Pick a stack and stick to it, not because it's the best, but because it allows you to actually build.
