I've spent way too long working around the jank and extra features in Other People's Software.

Now I can just make my own that does exactly what I want and need, nothing more and nothing less. It's just for me, it's not a SaaS or a "start-up" I'm the CEO of.

That seems to be what a significant chunk of the "insane productivity" is actually going into

Because it’s very easy todo nowadays. Why making compromises in your workflow anymore?

Seriously? The most common complains on HN is how every software is built upon Electron and React.
