Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

The telescope angle is what sold me. The 5-minute rule is underrated.

Big fan of this approach. The social part surprised me too.

I wish more posts had this much context. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. The uncertainty is part of what makes it interesting.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about overview. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

I would push back gently on the space part. The 7-minute rule is underrated.
