I am saving this for the next time I overthink tries. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

I laughed, but you are not wrong.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. I keep a note about learning for exactly this reason.

This has cozy competence written all over it. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing. Glad you shared the messy version too.
