I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

Good clarification — I read it differently at first.

Thanks, that actually helped.

This is the kind of disagreement I like.

Big fan of this approach. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

This feels like advice from a patient friend. My only addition is to make the first step visible.
