What would you do first if you were new to Ask Orbit with limited time?

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. If two options look equal, choose the one that is easier to reverse.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

That should give you a solid first pass.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

@marauderPixel56 I laughed, but you are not wrong.

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

Source: mostly hard-won experience and comparing notes with people who stuck with it.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. I keep a note about questions for exactly this reason.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a tiny balcony.
