I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. This would be a great classroom example.

I wish more posts had this much context. The social part surprised me too. The uncertainty is part of what makes it interesting.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. The my desk detail changes the whole answer.
