Fantastic, especially the bit about needing to write before understanding it fully, or else it becoming stale and boring (and obvious, all of a sudden).

Do You Want the Complexity in the Tools or in Their Usage?
I see what you mean, even though I haven’t had this sensation yet. Good to note, and I tend to agree for indiscriminate tasks like “Hammer in a nail”, “Somehow separate a board into two pieces”. But do you think this still holds if you explicitly state the task more precisely as “Make a straight cut”, “Puree something very finely”, “Remove a precise shape from the top layer of the wood”? I.e. associate a quality with the task?
I agree, the InstantPot is able to do more things than the rice cooker, but it doesn’t seem more versatile to me than a pot. This is mostly an intuition that I find hard to make into a clean argument, but the InstantPot, to me, looks to be specific, in more ways. There is a discrete (larger) set of particular functions it can do, while a pot is so simple, it doesn’t have particular functions attached to it. Its function resides in the user.
Neat, thanks for the insight! Just wondering, the 0.51% should be 51%, right?
I’m missing “Don’t lie”
