"We believe that apps should never crash. They should be free of bugs. They should be fast — they should feel lighter-than-air.
We believe that quality is more important than just piling on features; we believe that quality is the most important feature. And we believe that high quality is transformative — it makes for an app you never hesitate to reach for. You can rely on it, and you do, again and again.
This makes us slow to add features. We are adding features — but never at the expense of how it feels. Never at the expense of reliability and speed."
Such a well-done tutorial by Derek Sivers on becoming tech independent.

Thoughts on the search for meaning and reclaiming our attention.
“We no longer live in the attention economy; we live in the addiction economy. The dopamine economy. The economy of instant gratification. Every day, it's a frantic race to capture what has become our most precious resource: our brain's time. We're bombarded with notifications, alerts, and endless content. Everything is designed to hook us, to pull us back again and again, for another hit of pleasure.”
“This is the great carousel of the 21st century. Scroll. Click. Like. Replay. A brief rush of euphoria, quickly replaced by another craving. A cycle of consumption that never truly satisfies. By the end of the day, all that's left is emptiness.”
“We are drowning in an endless stream of information, and paradoxically, it's no longer the abundance that's the issue—it's discernment.”
“And that’s the key difference: AI calculates, humans intuit. Where machines rely on algorithms, we notice the subtleties—the unspoken cues, gut feelings, and instinctive decisions that slip through the cracks of code. It's in these finer details that our true uniqueness lies.”
“We may be at a turning point—a moment where true wealth is no longer measured by how much attention we can capture or how much dopamine we can generate by the minute, but by our ability to appreciate, understand, and create meaning.”

The author argues that tools aren’t just passive instruments but active participants in shaping how we think, work, and create. Whether it’s a minimalist text editor or a robust design app, the tools we use guide our behaviors and the way we approach problems.
As someone who experiments with tools, I definitely agree with him, and that’s why preventing the “shiny new tool syndrome” is critical.
