I don't find these to be mutually exclusive concepts.

Another, lesser-known gem: His recording of Mussorgsky's Pictures At An Exhibition.

I wonder if they do this everywhere, in certain jurisdictions this is illegal.

That is 100% my experience as well.

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 buil…

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 m…

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 th…

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…

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 …

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 …

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 (No…

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 hav…

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…

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 sai…

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…

... or printers.

Why did you not use an SQL transpiler?

So you are surprised about this? This surprises me.

I've never really gotten into TMV but Televators is one of my all-time favorite songs.
