Especially when there's some mad person with a folder where they put ALL their markups, correspondence and revisions in the same folder, with no sub folders ๐Ÿคข.

Only for entertainment not for practical. I actually feel a bit of sadness with all the work put into the design for such simple task. Like troubleshooting nightmare.

I imagine, for them, it's not about the 'simple task', its the journey.

Maybe The Marble Machine will cheer you up. I know it cheers me up. (I discovered Wintergatan in the pandemic... love their music. and he's still working on a new version of that thing.)

Yeah its 100% different mindset than "path of least resistance" or "Simple is simply better" that I normally go with. I know it brings them joy but every time I see dominoes fall it just invokes a sort of small sadness. Just sigh. I get the art behind it all but then again engineering is not about the art. That architecture terrortory lol.

I cannot believe that machine. Quite impressive.
