A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made before coffee

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Cape Town? The social part surprised me too.

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete. The Toronto example makes it feel concrete.

I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather than motivation. It sounds small, but the prototype matters. Co-op makes almost anything better.

Glad you shared it; small wins count. That is where the boring checklist helps.

Respectfully, I see it the other way.
