Thank you sincerely for your thoughtful comment. Here are some of my points:

> I lost the drive to endlessly customize my phone.

The way to avoid that is to 'start at the maximum and gradually decrease'. I don't want to endlessly fiddle with everything while not missing out on anything.

> I gladly put into "empathy and philosophy" ones.

Actually, my anticipated answer is that I would use Tool Intelligence to do this well. But as soon as I say that, people will come at me cursing. I'm trying to find something to say in response to that.

> you can't know what you need until you're facing a real problem in a real domain

My point is, many people can't figure out what tools are useful to them even when they have a real problem in front of their eyes.

You know, I think we’ve reached the point in the divide where it would be more instructive for me to see more examples of how you work, or vice-versa than it would to continue like this.

I get the sense that we are expressing preferences, at this point. I’m sure it would be interesting to watch you do what you do. :)

Thank you for saying that. And be warned: the below part of this comment is self-promotion, so don't read it if you don't want to.

I have a post[1] about how I use my mouse. From that, you can get a sense of how I use tools. I think it will be interesting because while there are many articles about how to use keyboards, I couldn't find articles about mice. I'll keep posting interesting writings, so I'd be happy if you subscribe. I think when I submit a post introducing my room to HN, they will be at a loss for words.
