Do not reward your brain for a “jugaad” you came up with.
It is good that you came up with a witty but dirty solution, but do not make it a habit or give it positive reinforcement. What you repeatedly reward becomes your default way of thinking.
Over time, what matters more is that you can reason from first principles, spot nuances, and hold a high bar before reaching for shortcuts. A way I would put it is: a shortcut is useful when it is built on understanding, not when it replaces it.
