> Endless research trying to buy the right thing.I’d buy something and get some dopamine for 5 minutes then have buyers remorse for days.

I have a workaround: I do the endless research part, then close the browser and don't buy aanything. Hell, the best part is doing your homework.

I just end up reading the 1 star reviews. And then I end up not buying anything...

I've had multiple co workers over the years throw up their hands in frustration and tell me to just. buy. the damn thing! I tend to do an unhealthy amount of analysis over every car or gadget I purchase.

To be honest I would be much further ahead in life if I put that same level of energy towards bettering myself as a developer.

I do a bunch of research, get disgusted with the lousy choices, then don't buy anything.
