I (struggle to) use arch (in disposable VMs, not my actual machine) btw

    That’s like using unreal engine and only relying on blueprints without understanding C++.

    I like your comparison in this situation. It’s so layman-unfriendly that one can doubt its usefulness. And I’m happy to see that I’m not the only one struggling to find suitable comparisons.

        First of all, I disagree, kind of. You don’t need to know about unreal engine specifics to use arch. On the other hand, I can guess what blueprints are without knowing unreal (therefore I only disagree kind of). On the 2nd other hand, if they’re able and motivated to read up what you mean, they’re likely able to use arch.

        Second of all, it’s not really good news, because if they don’t understand the comparison, they will not understand what you told them and therefore just ignore it. A warning in a language that you don’t understand will not stop you.

          Amazing prose, fellow human. First of all, you wrote with one hand, another hand, and then another hand. Just to finish with, secondly.

            Indeed. And I used my muscles powered by bread to move my internal skeleton to write this.
