What do you call "Digital Literacy"? Like learning how to use mouse and where to click-click or the history, people, and reasons why things are like they are? If this is the latter, kudos. We badly need people like you doing this, because I think all these SaaS BS and race to stupi.. simplicity is really killing what made computers great: the pleasure of tinkering.

Don’t all these SaaS enable to you to focus on actual tinkering with the thing you are making rather than tinkering with your tools? I like iPhone, cause it just works. I like Fedora with Gnome, cause it just works. I like GitHub actions, cause it just works! I don’t need to do package management, tuning the CI/CD or maintaining the database, as it’s done by AWS. I just build things. These stupi… simple SaaS let you do creative job, not the chores
