I stare at lending interest rates every day until my eyes hurt.

Actually, sometimes when rates spike, it's not all just "market sentiment"; on-chain sorting can also drive people crazy.
You think you're making normal repayments or topping up collateral, but someone cuts in line, empties the pool first, and the interest rate instantly jumps up, with the liquidation line moving along...
To be honest, the ones who have the biggest impact aren't those who write scripts, but people like us who manually click buttons—being a step behind means paying tuition.

Recently, a bunch of new L1/L2s are offering incentives to attract TVL, and veteran users complain about "mining, withdrawing, and selling."
But I see it more like: when traffic comes in, people cut in line too, and the more chaotic the order, the easier it is to push normal users into the corner.
I don't know how to define fairness, but my current approach is to reduce trading positions during congestion, do it early when possible, leave some buffer, and not expect to always be in the "normal" queue.

I don't need to be understood; after enough crashes, I just learn to be smarter...
That's all for now.
