How do you know when you've outgrown your tool?

The staircase doesn’t stop at Excel. Every upgrade follows the same pattern - you hit a ceiling, you learn the new thing, and then the new thing becomes your hammer. The real problem isn’t recognising when to move on. It’s that you can’t fully evaluate the upgrade until after you’ve made it. No clean answer here.
