Gave me some stuff to think about, thank you!

It almost reads like a stoic philosophy of development, which is a pretty fresh idea in contrast to the steady stream of “hey look at this new super convenient tool/framework/lang we created!” posts.

It might be easy to confuse with the purist or masochistic view of “make it harder because it builds character”, but I think there’s a lot of value in being reminded that it’s important to step back and look at the big picture of what problems you’re trying to solve—before solving them!
