    There was a time when I could not type faster than my computer could respond. The steady “upgrades” of software have made computers consistently worse, outpacing any hardware improvements by far.

      Aka “I have a series of 30 sticky notes telling me to click things in this order with the same brittle preciseness or punch card systems”. They have no idea what those buttons mean, they only know they click these three buttons in a row and that means gmail
