Today I Learned · by Luca Bianchi · 2026-09-09
A tiny story about idli, Cairo and timing on a budget
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 9 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
