"Easy" is probably because it boils down to, install X, Y, Z, edit config for X, Y, Z, start daemons X, Y, Z. There's no complex math or thinking involved, just plugging stuff in.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agosure but you have to spend lots of time reading documentation and know stuff to figure out you need to put these things together.

- bryanrasmussen 5y agowhich is exactly my point? He calls it easy because he can do that in a couple hours, and if problems arise later he can always just fix them with a quick 10-20 minutes. It's easy. On a side note this is actually a problem, in my experience, if I find something easy I might not cover every edge case - I can cover those if and when they come up - but given enough potential inputs and users the edge cases always come up. And then what happens if I am unavailable at that moment, the edge cases need to be handled by people who will find the easy solution I built up incredibly hard and daunting.

- devoutsalsa 5y agoIt takes practice. I just started making smoothies in a blender, and there are a bunch of little things to know to make it a little easier on yourself. It’s not just “throw all your shit in a blender and push button”, at least not with the cheap blender I have access to.
