Is there a simple rule of thumb for explainers without fancy tools?

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. You will learn more from a simple version repeated three times than from a perfect plan you never start.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

That should give you a solid first pass.

Could be regional too.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

This feels like advice from a patient friend. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

That is the part people skip.

Good clarification — I read it differently at first.

This made me smile more than expected. The Istanbul example makes it feel concrete. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Hope this helps!

My wallet felt that.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.
