Does it suck getting old for you? Do you have stamina to make new stuff? I'm old, very hard to stay on top of all the changes.

Does it suck getting old for you? Do you have stamina to make new stuff?
I'm old, very hard to stay on top of all the changes.
- alankay1 10y agoIt doesn't suck "getting old" -- and you only find out about stamina by trying to do things ... (We are fortunate that most of what is "new" is more like "particular 'news'" rather than actually "new". From the standpoint of actual categorical change, things have been very slow the last 30 years or so.)
- olantonan 10y agoAbout categorical change, I agree... seems like everybody is just busy optimizing stuff invented in the 70s.

- phantarch 10y agoCan you explain more about what in UIs you think has gone downhill? I've seen you refer to this idea in quite a few of your comments and it would be great to get insight on what aspects you think need improving/exterminating/rethinking.
- alankay1 10y agoI should get you to articulate this yourself But let's see -- how about UIs giving up on UNDO, not allowing or not showing multiple tasks, not having good ways to teach how to us the UI or the apps, ... And a zillion more ... Yikes!
- hsribei 10y agoFrom a health (and personal) perspective, Rolfing and other kinds of myofascial improvement help a lot with stamina.
