    Do not let perfect get in the way of good.

    Your reasoning here is irrational, and frequently repeated by many.

    “They will find another way, why even try! Gosh!”

    Okay, then we’ll block that way, and the next, and the next, and the next.

    This is iterative development and is how the whole world works. I cannot grasp why so many people have this defeatist attitude toward resolving problems.

      Yeah any system that involves humans will require maintenance and adjustments by humans. Because humans always find a way to fuck things up. There’s this weird compulsion to demand a system that can’t be fucked up by humans. But it’s not possible. Also it’s not necessary… if a system involves humans it means there’s humans around to do the necessary maintenance and adjustments to that system.

      Because people are lazy and want a singular solution every time and if they don’t get it most quit.

      Laziness is honestly our largest inspirational force and it should be celebrated to let us do more interesting and fulfilling work but instead instant gratification has ruined us and made people lazy and shitty.
