Having my daily “what if I just scrapped everything and rewrote it all” moment.

Though, thankfully, this time it’s not because I’m working on some god awful code full of technical debt, I’m working on my own website. 😎 (I hope my sarcasm is being conveyed by that emoji)

Does anyone else constantly have this feeling? How do you convince yourself not to do it?

I’m sure I've heard a statistic about how it’s almost always more time consuming and more effort to start over, right?

@ellyloel Oh, this community is full of incorrigible blog-tinkerers 😅 If you want encouragement NOT to tinker too much, I'm not sure this is the best place to go!

@jayeless I wouldn't exactly say you shouldn't not stop tinkering 🤣

@ellyloel I fight that feeling all the time… and then I do crazy things like make my own Micro.blog theme. @jayeless is right, this is a pro-tinkering place.😂

@ellyloel Oh totally 🤣 (Your website is incredibly cool, by the way, and I found it both easy to understand and navigate. I did run into one weird error where this blog post opens as raw HTML.)

@gregmoore Thanks! I'll have to have a look into that, very odd that it's just one post on the whole site, I'm sure there'll be an interesting explanation to it.
