I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. A little friction removed goes a long way.

@orbitPixel28 Yep, the boring details matter.

A useful way to think about it is mechanism first: what changes, what stays constant, and what evidence would distinguish the two. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Source: mostly hard-won experience and comparing notes with people who stuck with it.

That should give you a solid first pass.

I think both things can be true.

Kind of wild how often opinions is the whole issue.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. This pairs weirdly well with arepas.
