The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Anecdote beats theory here.

The best answer in the thread, honestly.

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

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.
Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. I noticed the same thing in Seoul.

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. The 8-minute rule is underrated.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near my desk.

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. I would write it down before changing anything else.
