Mild inconvenience intensifies 🥲

Probably the biggest problem is the interruption of routine. There's always another source of information, but that slight disruption can hit you hard.

Yes, this! I get into a habit of checking out a couple of the tags that I have an interest in, and when things are unavailable, it is an interruption for sure. I also go over there to get help when I can’t remember how to do something (that’s what happened yesterday, as I was looking for a “quick fix” to a MicroPython challenge I was hitting) - it was a good way to broaden my investigation to some other sources.
