Locking users in, removing configuration options and just focusing for the lowest common denominator skill set has nothing to do with “self-made feeling”. The author’s annoying clerk analogy really summarises it well.
- oneplane 6y agoThe author’s annoying clerk analogy completely misses the point. The computer isn't a kitchen, it's the oven. Or the fridge. Those are built to spec and regulation, and if you want to serve others from those you get checkups and clerks all the same. The feeling was that it is 'your domain', which it isn't as soon as you take part in a larger ecosystem (i.e. networked and vendor-supported with many users and shared services).
