The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. My friend tried it in Cairo and had the opposite result.

Totally agree, especially for beginners.

Could be regional too.

That is a much better way to say it.

I am cheering for this update. The São Paulo example makes it feel concrete.

That would annoy me more than it helped. I noticed the same thing in Warsaw. Glad you shared the messy version too.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. I am curious whether people still feels good next month.

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. My friend tried it in Cape Town and had the opposite result.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. The 5-minute rule is underrated.
