I can put Markdown in front of anyone who has ever used a computer for anything and they generally get it.

You're doing things that look like code.

It's that it can be a Microsoft Word, etc., killer.

I'd settle for a first class terminal+file manager combo setup, like where both are respected equally. Dolphin can kind of do it one way, geany the other?

Perhaps I'm missing it and it's almost a sort of, no really we're just building this for ourselves?

It started with the Ipod and the weird mp3 system, to the Ipad not shipping with a real file manager and is all so very obviously deliberate.

But -- your response really gives me a "what were they thinking?" vibe. Like, I have multiple raspberry pis and a flipper zero etc.

And just coming from a consumer of stuff like this POV -- I could MAYBE go as high as 300-350, and that's really pushing it.

But I literally laughed out loud, HARD, at the price.

There's this thing that people often do, even within the law itself, that's just like "well, you can fix everything by just writing it correctly the first time."

And this will always feel retroactively correct and never workable in practice.

Because, as I say repeatedly:

Smart contracts ARE NOT CONTRACTS. Count them in the worst named things in computing.

A contract is a legal agreement that is mostly about stipulations on what to do if things go wrong.

A so-called "smart contract" is doubly bad named -- because it's just a stupid, irrevocable, unchangeable, piece of code. Imagine an ATM with the controls welded shut.

And I'm increasingly of the opinion that on balance, people are not helped; I feel like concepts like ADHD, "neurodivergence," -- and even autism are terms whose present looseness cause more problems than they solve.

The first is equivalent to "I don't want my operating system to be used to program viruses."

The second is "I don't want vendors to include marketing in their product."

But no -- I know too many Black women who have -- I suppose -- chosen forgiveness. Too many intelligent humans that I know or know of, are good with this for me to say "No, ladies, you are wrong."

This is such an incredibly naive and absurd vision; we've already proven that humans are very often very bad at implementing other humans' good ideas. There's nothing that AI is likely to bring that will improve this discernment.

"This is a job for a CLI/terminal, which is absolutely a million times easier to learn today, thanks to AI."

Feels like MCP is still a product of -- well, "AI as a product" brain, which I have no love or use for. Give EVERYONE ALL the tools.
