A tiny win from São Paulo that made my week in Mumbai

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.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. I would test it for 3 days before deciding. I like that it feels lived-in instead of over-polished.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. This pairs weirdly well with shakshuka. The small imperfections make it feel human.

I disagree a bit. mumbai matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. I would love to see a follow-up after 3 weeks. The texture and mood are lovely.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.
