Technophile problems
Today on my way to work the battery of my rear derailleur ran out of juice.
"No problem" I thought, "just swap in the spare I am carrying."
As it turned out I hadn't charged the spare since the last time I swapped them.
"No problem" I thought, "I can charge them at work with the charger I am also carrying".
So I made it the last two kilometers to work without shifting.
As it turned out I didn't have a micro USB cable at my desk (anymore).
Luckily a colleague had one to charge their bike lights.
Problems I wouldn't have had with a cable actuated derailleur.

Electronic shifting is an upgrade I have been eyeing for the longest time, and I am so stoked to finally upgrade Natasha to Ultegra Di2 #cycling #roadcycling #electronicshifting #di2 #ultegra #shimano
Totally agree and IMHO a wrong direction - more and more roadbike frames are only compatible with electronic groupsets: https://www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/opinion-electronic-shifting #roadbike #shimano #electronicshifting #cycling
Opinion: Down with electronic shifting!

It’s natural to want to make improvements. We’re hardwired to expect better and to constantly strive for growth. No business
