I am a musician and electronic music is my primary jam. I once bought way too many plugins on Black Friday because there were so many incredible deals. The next day, I opened my preferred DAW and I was just overwhelmed with options. It caused my creativity to short-circuit. I didn't make music again for months because of the sheer sense of drowning in new tools.

Of course, every time I've ever added just one tool I've been fine. I explore it and learn it and figure out the limitations and how to make it do what I want (or decide I don't like it).

The brain is funny. It's not always possible to rationally explain our motivations and blockers in a way that feels satisfying. I'm a big believer that words help us understand feelings / reality. Not being able to articulate the things that are blocking us satisfactorily makes it harder, or possibly impossible, to work through them or try to tackle them or work around them.

And then there are the times when we can perfectly explain our feelings in a way that accurately represents the inner turmoil but it's just a crappy new reality. I think that's a lot of what people are feeling wrt coding agents.
