(the messy version)
- the more you move to spreadsheets, text editors, and the command line from applications with admin interfaces:
- the more control you get!
- the more work + thinking you need to put in to the workflow and how it will include your collaborators
- sometimes this control is worth it, sometimes it isn't; it depends on your goals + resources.
- minimal computing isn't about purity politics! it's a provocation to clarify your goals and consider alternative tools and methods to best suit the goals and resources you have.
