Notes from a very normal commute with AI Lab before coffee

I tried this in Dublin with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the recipe for a while.

Good reminder that boring can be good. The busy month version is even more interesting.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. The social part surprised me too.

The boring logistics are always the hidden part. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink before. My friend tried it in Cape Town and had the opposite result.
