@neko i feel like so much software out there is needlessly complex like this, there's so many features on the things we already use but everyone wants to keep abstracting further into these ideal APIs where you never have to think about how anything works
i guess that's why techbros are putting so much effort into "no code" ideas, where you just describe a website idea to an AI and it builds it for you, without you ever understanding how it works, becoming more and more bloated

@neko people are so afraid of the computer, so that's why we go higher and higher level, without realizing that there's an actual reasoning as to why computers are the way they are i am not proposing that... everyone should just go on and write everything in assembly or machine code and make their own cpu, but maybe, everyone SHOULD try to understand the underlying structures as to what they make and use, they SHOULD try to write a VM, write some basic assembly, try to read assembly instructions, figure out how the computer thinks
