        Silver bullets

        At work I'm very conscious of the inexistence of silver bullets.
        There isn't a single piece of infra-structure which will solve
        everyone's demand. Not because people aren't willing to invest tim
        trying to build such a solution, but due to the diverse nature of 
        use-cases around the company.
       
        Yet, I keep finding myself searching for a single silver bullet to
        solve my personal computing needs. For example, trying to get
        everything done on a single machine, running a single operating
        system, on a single online platform. When I become disappointed wi
        the current silver bullet of the month, I move to a different lapt
        or OS, or platform, rinse and repeat. In a month I'll be disappoin
        again and move back.
       
        Finding a place in between extremes, using more platforms, more OS
        more machines, will probably solve all my needs, with the addition
        cost of complexity.
       
        The cost of moving so often between solutions has become higher th
        the complexity cost. I won't be satisfied at a single place - this
        the mantra for the next time disappointment comes around.
