I am saving this for the next time I overthink stop. I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks. A small test case would make this easier to trust.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. I would love to see a follow-up after 5 weeks.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks. I would love to see the benchmark numbers.

I think the bad version of this advice causes a lot of frustration. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

I wish more posts had this much context. For me it came down to the practice run.

Good reminder that boring can be good. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. I would love to see the benchmark numbers.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. For me it came down to the practice run.
