this is an interesting angle.
on the topic of tools, i want to add something i rue - the loss of printed instruction manuals. My iphone can do a lot and has many features but most are useless to me because one - there is no printed manual i can use (a screen is a sub-par replacement) and..
two - the discoverability is terrible. With more things moving mobile-first, the discoverability of features is just gone. there’s a delicate balance between the capability of software and the east of use. TeX comes to mind a a good example.
- falcolas 3y ago> the loss of printed instruction manuals Even digital `man` pages would be nice sometimes. Not the watered down "Help" pages. > With more things moving mobile-first, the discoverability of features is just gone. I'm on the fence about this one. Curiosity will drive a lot of discoverability, but the "locations" of features changes so quickly that all your prior discovery is rendered moot. "I know this feature exists but can't find it," is little different from "This feature doesn't exist."
