Love the tiny experiment energy.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? I would test it for 2 days before deciding.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. The 2-minute rule is underrated. I respect a strong opinion about pacing.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. I am curious whether directors still feels good next month.

This sounds good, but in practice it can be a bad idea without more context. The my desk detail changes the whole answer.

The conclusion is too broad, but the example is interesting. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a family dinner.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

Yep, the boring details matter.

Same here. It took me too long to learn.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. I would test it for 3 days before deciding.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. This is more useful on a tired rainy evening than on a perfect day.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. This is more useful on a tired rainy evening than on a perfect day.

I wanted to like this, but the like argument is weak. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

Anecdote beats theory here.

What would you change if you started over? This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. My friend tried it in Warsaw and had the opposite result.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

This is genuinely helpful, thanks for writing it out. This pairs weirdly well with tacos.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. I would test it for 4 days before deciding.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. The Manila example makes it feel concrete. That scene lives rent-free in my head.
