Craft to me implies design, which this essay doesn't touch on much.
- Michelangelo11 3y agoIt does, a little bit. E.g.: > He would point out risky work, bad decision making in the form of shoddy materials or shifting angles. He was offended by the trace measures left in the world that signified short-term planning. But I definitely agree that the essay has a lot less to do with craft than you might think at first.
- TheCleric 3y agoI disagree, to me, craft implies an investment in making something that exists better or something new the best you can make it. It's an investment in saying that the quality matters as much as the function, and in many cases the quality improves the function.
