Maybe, but the tradeoff seems bigger than the post suggests. That is where the boring checklist helps. The boring solution is probably the reliable one here.

Love the tiny experiment energy. The 9-minute rule is underrated.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? The delightful part is easy to underestimate.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. For me it came down to the conversation.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. The 3-minute rule is underrated.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink explainer. The low-effort version is probably the keeper. This is exactly the kind of tradeoff teams argue about for weeks.
