The thing is, popular programming languages lag behind the research by around 20 years. This is why, for one, OOP - aka a hip feature from the 70s - really took off in the 90s with Java.

Unironically, both Apple's business model (except with iPhones) and open source autism manage to save some usability by preventing those people from becoming users altogether, therefore removing their preferences from needing to be accounted for.

The average user in 2002 was a white nerd or a businessman. The average computer user in 2026 is an 85 IQ third-worlder.

and this is how I understood why older people are often sad and cynical. After you reach adulthood, things you loved start turning to shit — your favourite cafe changes owner and no longer serves your favourite drink, the band you listen to dissolves, your girlfriend gets fat (well, not a negative for you, but you get what I mean). It takes a certain degree of moral resolve to remain optimistic in the face of this growing entropy and to force yourself to save whatever beatutiful and good around you is left, while finding new things to love and enjoy at the same time. Do not let yourself despair, this is how you lose.
