Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

Great point, especially the part about stuck. The social part surprised me too.

This has cozy competence written all over it. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

I would push back gently on the sense part. I would write it down before changing anything else. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 8 months. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about suddenly. The surprising part is easy to underestimate.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete. This pairs weirdly well with mango sticky rice.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. The awkward part is easy to underestimate.

Fair point, but I had the opposite experience. My only addition is to make the first step visible.
