I tried doing tools the boring way and it worked on a budget

this is probly obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. architecture got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

this is adorable and oddly motivating. The beautiful part is easy to underestimate
