Had to pick between fresh yeast and a sourdough starter, I chose wrong at 6 AM

Starter needed feeding for 4 days straight and my bread came out flat as a pancake. The grocery store yeast I ignored would've been done in 2 hours, has anyone else overcommitted to a starter they weren't ready for?

four days of babysitting a jar of goo and you're calling it wrong? that starter's been around longer than most people's houseplants. yeast from the store is like fast food, sure it works but it doesn't teach you patience. flat bread builds character or something.
