overthinking is anticipating the nth order effect of an action or lack thereof.

overthinking often collapses to a delusion. then, emotional turmoil.

instead, how about we try to stack actions that seem to yield only positive growth regardless of feedbacks leading to different nth order effects?

then, we’re just indirectly limiting decisions to 1st order effects only make things easier on the mind. This curtails overthinking & its negative effects by several orders.

Not speaking for positive effects of overthinking cuz it’s not productive 😅 for me.

For the long term, it’s important to know what is actually going on because a project is subject to modifications and extensions.

Speaking of extensions and modifications, vibe coding on the other hand calls for complete rewrite and, though A.I could eventually do a complete rewrite to support further updates. It feels we’re disrespecting the G.P.U.s and resources to get things done in a suboptimal way (if you will).
