I agree wirh your general statement but I don't agree about DAWs specifically. Many DAWs (used to) have terrible UX.

I find woodworking extremely alluring. I'd love to do woodworking, but that requires space for an environment which I don't have. I like to think that in a parallel universe I build guitars and restore old wooden furniture.

I don't want this to sound derogatory but my experience is that simpler minds are generally happier in life, and I'd guess that this often (not always) comes with an inability to multitask, so I believe you are right. I had a frie

I do, but I'm not convinced there is correlation. In front of the computer I can easily multitask and I can just as easily sit for 10 hours straight and code with focus. Outside the digital realm I find it harder to multitask - if I ta

I explained in another comment why it isn't throwing money out of the window. In my experience, it often costs a lot more money in the long run to not do it. The underlying problem is that most companies don't really think mid-

My mom also knits while watching TV, and she is super fast. I think one secret ingredient is that she doesn't care about making mistakes. Tinier mistakes she just ignores (even if they are visible in the end [I don't like that, so

Absolutely! The difference is that with other things the learning curve can be part of the fun while you are in the process of figuring things out. With crotcheting, it only really takes a couple of minutes to get going, but doing it fast a

I absolutely did it for fun and to learn something new, it just didn't feel like as much fun as I had anticipated to me personally. I want it to be fun and relaxing, there is some fun in it but it's not relaxing.

I did have a purpose and it didn't help much in this regard, it only helped with keeping up the friendly pressure to actually finish them. But generally, your advice is good nonetheless.

Curious, what are you using it for? Do you have a few examples?

I hear what you're saying but my experience is that dwelling in #2 without seeing the bigger picture does very often just as much result in cost/schedule overruns, because shoving certain features or trying to improve certain aspe

My thoughts exactly. I think this has mostly to do with marketing because pretty much nobody uses Wordpad and most people hate it, while everybody uses Notepad or a replacement (Notepad++ or similar) which usually already has a lot more fea

I like crotcheting (tried it again for the first time since childhood during Covid). My main problem is that, unless you have already mastered it and can do it in your sleep, I have to fully concentrate on it to not fuck things up, which me

I have only skimmed the text but regarding GUIs specifically the list in the end is spot on. With that being said, I firmly believe that all software (given that one is not already deeply familiar with the domain) is/can/should be

I do believe her when she says that this has great sentimental value for her as well (although I'm equally certain that's not the whole truth), since the business value, as you said, isn't as huge anymore as it used to be bef

I have always wondered the same, never tried looking into it but I wouldn't be surprised if Defender at least played a part in it. Defender is a huge source for general slowness on Windows from my experience.

How do we know if aliens will perceive music as music and not just a form of language or something else entirely? How do we know if they would find any form of communication offensive which we would need to use to establish first contact?
