Connection anxiety is a real cost

Something I don't see discussed: the psychological overhead of not fully trusting your setup. For a few months I was checking the connection constantly — not because it had failed often, but because it had failed once and I'd never rebuilt the confidence. That checking cost me attention and made me more likely to intervene for unrelated reasons. What fixed it wasn't better technology. It was a drill, like the one Dave described, so that "what if it drops" had an answer I'd rehearsed rather than a feeling I carried around.
