I wonder if computers are so bad at everything because we’re just perpetually pushing software too far too fast. like maybe if the human race slowed down a bit we could have computers that work sometimes

@kasdeya "move slow and fix things" crew checking in

@kasdeya slow is smooth, smooth is fast

@kasdeya I move slow, am an absolute snail to adopt new things, and my working environments work fine. I admit I am what some would refer to as "a person who is very computer", but I hate fiddling with things that are supposed to let me work on other things (such as my OS and editor setup), so I think I realise when I needed to fix something.

Computers are good at things. Only by the time we have made them good at one thing, the hype has already moved on.

@fargate this is a really interesting perspective - I think I really like it. I definitely try to do this with as much of my setup as I can, although I unfortunately made the switch to neovim long before it’s ready so I have to wrestle with that a fair bit on occasion. but I’m right there with you - I hate having to fiddle with a tool that I need in order to do some actual work. especially if it just unexpectedly fails one day
