| > Sports and marital art practice are all about getting sub-second decisions and extremely quick/smooth movements; none of that's relevant to writing something without feeling like a fool. Some people expect their brain to answer a question like "I want to make this particular box's children evenly vertically-spaced. What is the name of the css property to google?" with a confident sub-second response. Some people, upon observing that they can't, feel like a fool. For those people, it is relevant. -------- > Maybe a tool like this necessarily needs a bunch of practice. Or maybe it's badly designed, and the experience should be more like chopping a carrot. I'd like to live in a world where every tool thats the best for a job is well-designed. I'd also like to live in a world every message I try to communicate is one that people pay attention to and understand in the spirit I intended, even if I never edit it. I'd also like to live in a world where my lumbar region is pain-free, even if I don't regularly do squats. --------- The author's words about his pain points are still valuable. Systems should be improved. They can't be improved unless problems are made clear. There is much broken in the world and many of us have taken up the call to fix it and we should heed the words of others' frustration. But there is much broken in the world that won't get fixed anytime soon. |
