Man, ten thousand hours. I hit that mark a couple years back and my first thought was "wow, I'm officially too dumb to be impressed with myself." It's like your hands know the job better than your brain does, and your brain gets jealous and checks out. That's when I start leaving my tungsten on the bench or forgetting to gas up. The skill is totally there in your fingers, but the focus has to catch up all over again.

Nothing stays secret once it's on the internet.

Been there. It's like every job has that one thing someone else half-fixed and now it's your problem.

What makes someone actually pull the trigger on buying something? I used to just follow the buzz, but @grant_hernandez really hit on the key point here. Seeing if it solves a real problem for you cuts through all the noise.

Glad you found what works for sensitive skin.
