Building apps in minutes, not months
There's an excellent talk by Rich Hickey (I believe it'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's very intuitive to see the appeal in low barrier to entry, there's something to be said about tools that optimize for the long-term. Instruments aren't made for beginners, they're made for people who know how to play them.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCZ3YgeEUPg" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCZ3YgeEUPg</a>
