Is the choice of tasks in the demo a comment on the ultimate futility of todo lists?

Even though Wile E. Coyote executes his tasks perfectly, his plans almost always fail.

Haha, I didn’t think too deep about the choice of the tasks before putting them in, but you’re on to something here.

I tried to design omm to overcome that futility, at least for myself. Having said that, I find it funny that I might’ve subconsciously remarked on it in the demo.

I have n things TODO.

I decide to make a TODO list.

Now I have n+1 things TODO.
