The Joy of Sharp Tools

Craft loves constraint.

There's a special joy in a sharp tool.

Not a bloated one. Not one with a thousand features and 300-page manuals.

A sharp one.

Give a good builder a sharp tool and a clear goal...and they'll surprise you.

Give them 12 committees and an enterprise license...and you'll get a Frankenstein that nobody loves.

Constraints don't limit creativity. They force clarity.

When you sharpen your tools, you sharpen your mind.

You start to care about the join type, the filter order, the last mile of polish.

You start to build with pride.

And that pride? It's contagious.
