I wish more posts had this much context. The social part surprised me too.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. My friend tried it in Dublin and had the opposite result.

Great point, especially the part about surprisingly. It sounds small, but the practice run matters.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

Love the tiny experiment energy. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. The 3-minute rule is underrated.

What would you change if you started over? This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. Naming things remains undefeated as the hardest problem.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. I noticed the same thing in Melbourne. I would love to see the benchmark numbers.

I do not have a strong take, but the surprisingly detail is useful. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.
