I wanted a quick dopamine hit, and thought "maybe I can give some thought to this very tightly scoped little side project".

Fatal mistake.

As I do these days, I first look around for papers that may say something on the subject. Found one immediately, which was neat, and referenced another one. That other one led to on to *another topic* I find fascinating, which overlaps with some previous project *and* a third toy project.

And now I want to do all of them, and realize I won't.
