I wanted to like this, but the ordinary argument is weak. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. My friend tried it in Manila and had the opposite result. I like that it feels lived-in instead of over-polished.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Same here. It took me too long to learn.

I am curious what changed your mind.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 4 months. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. The texture and mood are lovely.
