I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. A little friction removed goes a long way.

The kindness in this post is lovely. The 3-minute rule is underrated.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. That is the kind of detail beginners miss. Good reminder that tools should serve people, not the reverse.

Great point, especially the part about learning. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. This pairs weirdly well with lentil soup. This is exactly the kind of tradeoff teams argue about for weeks.

Glad you shared it; small wins count. A small test case would make this easier to trust.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? I would write it down before changing anything else.
