Baby, do you know what you wanna hear?
'Cause you can say the word, make it oh so clear
We're all just searching for a sense of solidarity
To hold each other close and confiscate our destiny
No one wants to leave with a work undone—
We only need a brush we can pass along

There used to be times when a computer helped a writer. Provided simple tools to focus on composition. Enough screen area to frame a thought. An unsophisticated medium to save a piece of work -- a piece of work worth saving.

More importantly, it would not distract. It would sit quietly waiting for letters to be typed or editing commands to be issued. Unaware that it was a virtue rather than a disadvantage, the computer did not offer any means to switch to another task, look up the current word in a thesaurus, make the sentence bold, or italic, or purple on red background. Or to catch up with the news, to like a photo which had just popped up, to get buried in tweets, to hate a hater and to love a meme, to multitask or fork, let the mind wander away, caffeinate the thought that had been, but no longer was.

most of life doesn't have hard rules, formulas, or clear logic
it's always been about feeling things out and understanding the spirit of things
majority of people in tech have no idea what this means
