A good quote. I didn’t mean the question as “atheist vs believer argument”, but rather as an environment where ideas are accepted and flourish. Because I understood the parent comment: “He eventually got bored.” as "He got bored by the corporate environment not getting his ideas and thus went to a better organization in that regard."

So now, how was he, the one with brilliant and unorthodox ideas, got accepted in an institution like seminary? How he felt having arguments there, etc. …

> He eventually got bored. He retired and joined a seminary.

Wow, got bored and joined a seminary - Do you know how does he feel there? A genuine question - Did he expect to get excited and challenged in a seminary?

for the /show list, your submission can stay on the "front" there for almost a full week

Good to know this and yes, ShowHN gathers more discussions with the author. One question: is it still true, that a submission can stay for days on /show for days? I read here recently that with the LLM trend of creating software /show became very overcrowded.

What most people dont get ...

The OP Blog post is comparing web versions vs applications. Both on the phone. And arguing that browser representation is often better than app functionality. Using desktop vs small screen phone is a different matter.

As engineers, scientists, researchers, etc our literal job is to break down problems into many smaller problems and then solve them one at a time.

Our literal job is also to look for and find patterns in these problems, so we can solve them as a more common problem, if possible, instead of solving them one at a time all the time.

The changes in society are accelerating and thus people cannot adapt fast enough. The society doesn’t necessarily become more complex.

Yes, the upside of the contemporary on-line software distribution is clear. No question about this. "The good old days" :-) reference was only about the comprehensive and ordered documentation that often used to come with the physically shipped software medium.

Right! The good old days when the software used to come in a box with several varied width books containing all these Four, and one named Getting Started.

This same set could be easily "transposed" to the contemporary world of web. With all the proper indexing. Why is this "art" "lost" for most of the software :-( ...

BTW, one Excellent incarnation of this documentation art is on the front page right now:
