ease of use devours the soul!  

i want software i use to feel like my mom’s iron pan. the pan requires skill, care, and understanding. it says “if you learn to use me, i’ll serve you forever. but you have to care.”

the opposite is something like an air fryer. it’s immediately easy to use, but it can never feel as real and human as an iron pan.

i want my tools to require _effort_ from me. i want to have to invest in them a little. otherwise they feel like ghosts.
