This is real. When everything is instant, nothing feels finished. You stop thinking in terms of “building” and start thinking in terms of “possibilities,” which overloads decision-making. Infinite leverage -> infinite branches -> cognitive freeze.

If you make an actual plan (feature list, data model, endpoints, schemas, etc) then execute THAT, you have a sense of having built something and arrived at a (temporary) "finishline."
