- 0xbadcafebee 4y agoAlmost anybody who has used a computer before can, in about an hour, quickly compile text and pictures in an animated sequence to present to their team (after they forgot it's demo day) with a thing called PowerPoint. But to make text and pictures for a web site, we can't just fire up a tool and drag and drop some text and pictures. We have to develop software. It's like every time you want a new chair you get out a two-by-four and a knife and start whittling. But instead of questioning why we whittle our own chairs, we reinvent the knife.
