This made me smile more then expected. The a trailhead detail changes the whole answer

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. The Nairobi example makes it feel concrete

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Jakarta? The Kuala Lumpur example makes it feel concrete

I think the bad version of this advice causes a lot of frustration. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the library

Fair point, but I had the opposite experience. It sounds small, but the tiny repair matters. Backlog guilt is a shared cultural experience
