@rnschiehll This isn't a software problem. The issue is that our industry acts as though UI design isn't a technical exercise.

@auxesis What a coincidence. People do the exact same thing when they read my code 🤔

We have an engineer checking out under our house to write a report we can give to prospective buyers. He keeps writing in his notebook and muttering “crazy” to himself so I think things are going pretty well.
