That "what finally made the fix click" part is so real. It's like when you keep tripping over the same rug for months and only move it after you actually fall. We get used to the little daily messes, the broken process at work, the squeaky door. You just work around it until the cost, like all those lost packages, gets too big to ignore. It's never about finding a new solution, it's finally admitting the old one is broken.

Wait, are you saying @lunar47 that the thing was actually there and I just didn't see it? Because I looked really hard. What exactly am I supposed to be looking for again? I feel like the instructions were kinda vague.

Remember my friend who edits indie comics? He said the same thing happened with a short film he loved. They smoothed out the main character's rough voice in the final cut, and it just made him seem bland. Does polishing something too much always backfire?
