is there a way we can extend the metaphor here to cover this aspect of ikea furniture?
it's perfectly serviceable and functional, but every time you mention the name people will go out of their way to tell you it isn't, you're wrong, and when you grow up you'll spend 10x as much for the "real" version that does basically the same thing.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoCan we extend the anecdote to make it more accurate and say the opposite: that is, it's fragile but every time you mention it on HN, you'll have 10+ replies saying they personally moved it 13 times between apartments all across NYC, uphill, through snow, both ways, and then still sold it to someone else for a good price?
- taberiand 3y agoCan we extend the anecdote and say that everyone has unique requirements, and a unique situation and experience, that may be broadly if inexactly grouped into a few general categories but we should all accept that there is no one single correct answer; instead there are a myriad of valid answers depending on context and we all have something to learn from each other?
- TeMPOraL 3y agoWould love to, but that reeks of Big Design Up Front, and is too large to fit into a sprint anyway. It's not the 1980s, we don't think about what we do anymore. :).
