>I just think very differently from what you wrote. I am glad and no offense and the primary reason why I enjoy HN. I realize there is always a spectrum of opinions. Perhaps some of my assumptions were a bit exaggerated but the gist of the matter is that too many software suffer from featuritis and I am all for simplicity. Your wife is busy raising a family and needs her outlook, but mine did raise three kids with important events stuck on the fridge door on little notes. (She is B.A. graduate and very computer literate). On the other hand one of my daughters keeps notes for school events on an online calendar. I realize that most startup CEOs are busy as hell and can't afford a secretary. A lot of them lurking here at HN, probably do their own coding as well :). It doesn't mean that if you can do secretarial work yourself that is more economical for you to do it and that is one of the reasons for a lot of startup failures, the owners overloading themselves. It is a must at the beginning but not for ever. I employ about 18 people at Managerial level jobs. I consider it a waste to see Senior personnel spending an afternoon 'prettifying' an excel spreadsheet or report, when someone else can do that at a 1/3 of the price. As for me I like tinkling with the technical side of things and now and then 'steal' work from my secretary :). She does keep a calendar for me and screens a lot of my emails.
