Ask HN: What software decisions do you regret and what will you do next time?

I mean related to building software as a developer, and using software as a user. Could also be other kinds of tools/tooling. What are the ones that you regret and are kinda awkward or hard to undo easily, and what will you do next time? I regret buying Google Workspace through Namecheap - then whenever I add a new email to a domain I need to first buy more seats through namecheap. For future I'll buy google workspace directly through google. I regret using Netlify, I've had a much better experience with Cloudflare but I don't like the process of needing to switch hosts. For future I'll use cloudflare. On a more meta note, there are also instances where I regret building something as a web app first. For future I'll generally start off products I'm building as local python scripts, iterate until I'm happy with the scripts, and then turn it into a web app later.
