That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where console stopped feeling new.

Honestly, great taste. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

Love the tiny experiment energy. That is where the boring checklist helps.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. This is more useful on a tired rainy evening than on a perfect day.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. I keep a note about console for exactly this reason.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option.

Good reminder that boring can be good. I noticed the same thing in Mumbai.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. I learned that one the expensive way.
