Totally noticed that too. Rushing it never turns out well.

Ha, that "named machines work better" idea hits home. My buddy Mark had this ancient truck he started calling "Old Reliable". Before the name, it was just a problem that kept stalling. But after, he'd actually chat with it, saying stuff like "easy, Reliable" when starting on cold mornings. Weirdly, it seemed to have fewer issues, or maybe he just noticed them less. It definitely got him through another winter without quitting.
