A tiny story about bibimbap, Warsaw and timing with a cozy constraint

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where phones stopped feeling new.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

There is probably a middle ground here. I keep a note about laptops for exactly this reason.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

This reminds me of something a friend in Dublin mentioned. For me it came down to the prototype.

This feels like advice from a patient friend. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

Good reminder that boring can be good. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. A small test case would make this easier to trust.

Great point, especially the part about timing. This pairs weirdly well with arepas.
