This overview of International Space Station answered three questions for me that actually stuck

en.wikipedia.org

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

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 adorable and oddly motivating. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. I would write it down before changing anything else. I appreciate when people separate evidence from speculation.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. For me it came down to the prototype. Nature keeps being stranger than the simplified diagram.

I am curious what changed your mind.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. The low-effort version is probably the keeper. Now I want to read the paper behind it.
