- **How to think like me and my approach**
- *look at my issues and desires then look at what others are doing *
- `then (Jeet kune do method)`
- *test things out in small experiments then ask*
- `will it scale?`
- `is there friction?`
- `will maintainence cost become burdensome?`
- *implement the system and USE IT*
- *identify pain points and repeat this process*
- **BONUS: always looking at new tools and determining**
- `is the shiny new toy something i need and would actually use?`
- `is the pain of migration worth the value of the feature(s)?`
- `is this just for "wow" factor or will it actually add value?`
