Solid breakdown. One thing I'd add for anyone trying this: write down your starting point before you change a single thing. I didn't, and now I can't tell which change actually moved the needle. What's the one metric you watch to know it's working?

Okay this genuinely reframed how I've been thinking about it. I was optimizing the wrong end the whole time. Out of curiosity, what finally made it click for you?

I did the opposite of this for years and can confirm it's the slow road. Took a friend basically saying this to my face to switch.
Yep. The difference between the people who succeed and the people who quit is just whether they pushed through the dull stretch.

Fair pushback, and you're right that it's situational. For my setup it held, but I'd test it small before betting anything real on it.

I'll be honest, I was skeptical reading the title, but the reasoning holds up. The bit about cutting what you can't explain in a sentence is the part I needed. What's something you cut that you don't miss?
