alt Hacker NewsWhat is the opposite of dull? Exiting?
I do not want my browser to be exiting. I do not want for it to change every week. Say moving buttons to different places. Changing how address bar operates. Maybe trying new short cut keys...
Same goes for most useful software. I actually do want them to be dull. And do their job and not get in between and make my day more interesting by having to fight against it.
Well known and mature tools are still sharp and lots of them are not tedious to use..
I picked "sharp" not "exciting".
Dull knife doesn't do its job, you want tools that do the job efficiently. "Boring" as it seems was interpreted as picking tools that don't do the job efficiently. That is why original idea creator found "Choose boring technology" most likely misunderstood.
