To follow up -

I’ve also basically stopped perusing this site since I was no longer looking for new software. And to be honest, I’m happier for it.

Looking back, while CRIMPing was definitely fun for a period and getting that dopamine spike of some new software was cool - but on the whole, CRIMPing for me was not something that actually made me feel good.

It was mostly done from a place of avoiding doing actual work and not feeling like my current setup was good enough.

In many ways my CRIMPing was an unwillingness to be humble and disciplined enough to do good things with what I had.

Not sure if this resonates with anyone, but if so, my recommendation is to find a way to settle with yourself on a set of tools that are “good enough” and then get to work.

If you’ve got enough free time that you are happy to let CRIMPing be a hobby, then have at it. But if you know it does you more harm than good, take the plunge and cut it out.

Wishing you all the best in 2020!
