The ancient hackers
who skillfully followed the Way
didn't try to geekify the users,
but to make things simple for them.
Users are difficult to guide
when they are too geeky.
Using geekiness to guide a community
is the community's ruin;
using simplicity to guide a community
is the community's blessing.
Knowing these two things
is knowing the basic pattern.
Always knowing the basic pattern,
this is called "primal power".
Primal power is deep, indeed!
distant, indeed!
Sharing things, they return:
this is the great harmony.
