Most delays in development don’t come from hard problems.
They come from small interruptions:
- switching tabs
- searching for the same answer again
- context switching between tools
A surprising number of these interruptions are caused by tiny checks:
- unit conversions
- format confirmation
- quick validations
When those checks require opening heavy tools or navigating complex UIs, they break flow.
That’s why I tend to rely on lightweight references or single-purpose pages when I just need to verify something quickly.
For example, if I’m validating a length value from an API response, I’ll sometimes confirm it using a simple page like
https://mmtocm.net
instead of building or importing anything.
It’s a small thing, but over time it makes a difference.
