A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made from my lunch break notes

I tried this in Madrid with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more then the perfect plan.

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

Can you share what you tried before this? My only addition is to make the first step visible

Honestly, great taste. The uncertainty is part of what makes it interesting

agree completely. The simple version is underrated. I would write it down before changing anything else
