There are no wrong answers, don’t listen to people saying “this is better” or “do it this way”. Maybe it’ll help, but maybe it’ll make you not like the community. If that’s the way you feel, just do whatever you need to to get something to work.

There’s a lot of choice, so make a choice and stick to it, but at the same time be open to change.
