Printing press made me rethink a small assumption without making it complicated

en.wikipedia.org

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

The detail that surprised me was how much my desk changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. ancient got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

I started this because my winter felt a little stuck, and maps seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink without. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 5 months. The 8-minute rule is underrated.
