Building apps in minutes, not months
There&#x27;s an excellent talk by Rich Hickey (I believe it&#x27;s this one[1]) where he points out an obsession with how quick something is to understand immediately and be productive in—he gives the example of building websites in a single day, and contrasts it to musicians learning and mastering instruments over much longer periods of time.<p>While it&#x27;s very intuitive to see the appeal in low barrier to entry, there&#x27;s something to be said about tools that optimize for the long-term. Instruments aren&#x27;t made for beginners, they&#x27;re made for people who know how to play them.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=MCZ3YgeEUPg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=MCZ3YgeEUPg</a>
