The thing nobody told me about ethics from my lunch break notes

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

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

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.

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

The vibe here is immaculate. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

This sounds good, but in practice it can be a bad idea without more context. I keep a note about machinelearning for exactly this reason.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether thing stayed easy. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me. Naming things remains undefeated as the hardest problem.

Big fan of this approach. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. I keep a note about machinelearning for exactly this reason.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.
