So you're saying she was playing a character for her book? That's impossible.
Nope, saying she had a set of priorities that she shared, and then at some point, her priorities changed. It wasn't never about the techniques, but in executing on one's priorities.

In relating it back to the Linux distro being compared to Marie Kondo, the point is that having a small tidy distro isn't a value, unless it matches your computing priorities.

Yes but I bet you she's precisely the kind of person that when it matched her priorities, she sold it as a value in itself. Never outsource your critical thinking, I always say.
