<li>Users typically only utilize about 20% of an application's features, and <strong>this 20% varies from user to user</strong>.</li>
<li>Software often becomes bloated with features that most users don't need, leading to frustration and resentment.</li>
<li>VS Code, Slack, and Discord exemplify platforms that provide a foundation for users to customize their experience.</li>
<li>Accepting that users will only partially care about your software can lead to more focused and satisfying product development.</li>
<li>Embracing the idea that software will be used in unexpected ways can lead to innovative and user-centric design.</li>

  - boredom -> easy fun -> art -> profit?

> I've often described my motivation for building software to others using imagery: I like to go find a secluded beach, build a large, magnificent sand castle, and then walk away. Will anyone notice? Probably not. Will the waves eventually destroy it? Yep. Did I still get immense satisfaction? Absolutely. - [aliasxneo](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41497113)

> We love to see the process, not just the result. The imperfections in your work can be beautiful if they show your struggle for perfection, not a lack of care. - [ralphammer](https://ralphammer.com/is-perfection-boring/)

> A good match is a **structured** dance, where players aim to **score** while they are following well-defined **rules**. This **freedom within a structure** is what makes it fun. - [ralphammer](https://ralphammer.com/how-to-get-started/)

> 책을 펼쳐놓는 것으로 충분하다. 읽지 못해도 좋다. 매일 정해진 진도를 나가야 하는 학교 수업이 아니니까. 하지만 읽지 않아도 괜찮다고 해서 펼쳐두지조차 않으면 곤란하다. 가능한 한 자주 책을 펼쳐두도록 하자. 전혀 읽지 않고 멍하니 바라보고 있다가 다시 덮게 되더라도

> I think it should be everyone's primary focus to sleep well, drink water, get outside, get active, and eat generally decently. I hate to say it, but if you're not eating a good amount of vegetables and fruit, decent protein, sleep, etc, no amount of XYZ will catch up to that detriment. - [CE02](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35056071)
