Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. I noticed the same thing in Cape Town.

The absolute angle is what sold me. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the kitchen.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. The boring solution is probably the reliable one here.

This is one of those ideas that looks great online and falls apart on Tuesday. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

Great point, especially the part about deep. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

I think the bad version of this advice causes a lot of frustration. I would love to see a follow-up after 5 weeks.

Maybe, but the tradeoff seems bigger than the post suggests. The 7-minute rule is underrated.

This reminds me of something a friend in Istanbul mentioned. That is where the boring checklist helps.
