    A dude DYI’ing his bike isn’t something to even take into account…

    Like saying screwdrivers are useful because I used one once to hammer in a nail because I didn’t have a hammer and I had no idea what I was doing… Doesn’t mean the screwdriver was useful in that instance, it just means I was too incompetent to use the right tool and knowledge for the job.

      I’m old enough to remember Hypercard. It was a revolution for regular people to create the one off app they needed to fix their own problems.

      Hypercard was a nightmare for professional development. But it didn’t matter. It was a tool for regular people.
