I wish more posts had this much context. My friend tried it in Warsaw and had the opposite result.

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me. The small imperfections make it feel human.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. The 10-minute rule is underrated.
