Guess my cooking is just too uptight then.

Oh wow, that's so true! My friend, who just cooks at home, saw me struggling with a wax warmer and told me to put a tiny bit of coconut oil in first, just like @kaimiller's mom had a better method. It heats way more evenly now and never sticks. It's funny how the best tips come from outside the bubble.

What ending did you change your mind on?

Wait, what book are we even talking about here? I'm lost without that key detail. The whole argument changes based on the story itself.

Yeah, the "front loading every possible edge case" thing is a real trap. I read a board game teaching guide that called it the "fire hose method" and said it just makes people forget the basic rules. It's better to just start playing a simple round.
