I think the root cause is the complexity.
Split the problem into manageable chunks, then attack the chunks. Apply recursion as needed.
This is part of a more senior skillset, as some times a senior will be breaking up the problem and assigning the smaller pieces to other devs.
They’ll start with the union leaders, and work their way down until the organization is broken enough that everybody goes back to work.
I can’t connect to my car’s audio with Bluetooth, and can’t afford to replace the car stereo with one that supports Bluetooth - it’s just not a priority. When I upgrade my phone, I’ll stay with an earphone jack.
Some CSAs will deliver weekly, which may help.
Small farmer here - we keep exactly one less production bird than the maximum legal requirement, as most farmers of our scale do.
My therapist, provided I reach the breaking point at a convenient time when we have a session scheduled.
They tend to shut up when you ask them to actually help in any meaningful, concrete way. They’ll sure protest though.
Laser cutter control software is windows only, just haven’t had the time/energy to rip out the entire control system and rework it to be open source.
Bluetooth speakers for music in the kitchen, attached sound system for steaming TV, over-ear noise cancelling bluetooth headphones for desk work, over-ear bluetooth ear protection headphones for shop/yard work, earbuds for shopping/etc (fuck store muzak).

We did the same - bought a foreclosure at auction about a decade ago at the max we could afford, about $325k.
Now it’s a $1.2 million property. We could subdivide and pay off our mortgage entirely, if we needed to.
unless you already have the money you need to launch
I’ve noticed this as well, from being involved in the tech startup scene on the west coast for a while. There’s lots of funding and programs to expand your business, but none to help get it off the ground.
people don’t want to spend their money on starting businesses
I’d love to. Unfortunately if I quit my day job we’ll lose the house in six months.
We live in a more geographically isolated part of Canada (ie: not a big city) and at this point, our monthly grocery bill is approaching our mortgage payment amount. I still have to drive to three different stores to buy basics, because they’re all frequently out of stock for common items (like milk, sometimes). It’s not uncommon to pick up 3-4 bags of groceries (no meat) and pay $150-$200.
We garden, and have birds, and even started raising dairy sheep to reduce costs, but it’s still too much.
Yet, there are seven cannabis stores in town, and they’re all well stocked, somehow.
A government willing to go into debt with public spending? Cut off corporate subsidies and allocate the increased revenue to new technology businesses to reduce the risk involved in trying something different?
Learned the default account password and figured out which teachers had not changed their password from the default. Learned that all teachers had access to a share drive with all student records. Read through a lot of information.
Did not look at porn on school computers, because wtf?
At grad event, in front of elderly relatives, was called out for looking at porn on the school computers, other student was credited for breaking into all systems. More pissed about the latter.
Triple-check that our mortage is paid off in the event of my death, so that my wife and children will have a place to live after I (sole breadwinner) am gone.
