Confession time – I love to write software (in an appropriately expressive language).
But I hate to use it.
I suspect what makes me good at writing software – reducing problems to their essential elements and producing minimally sufficient solutions – makes me a an uninspired user of software. I don’t care for the details and don’t go digging into all the features. I have a task, I want to accomplish it, the rest is distraction. I suspect this is why I think the last tolerable version of MS Word was v3.2 for the Macintosh.
Which brings me to what set this post off. I’ve just figured out that comments are moderated on this blog software and I haven’t been checking for them. So they haven’t been showing up. I suspect this is disappointing for commenters. So I have approved the backlog and promise to approve more regularly from here on out.
