Hot take: it’s important to distinguish ‘junk food media’ (i.e., stuff that, regardless of technical competence, will succeed by delivering on purience) from ‘premium media’ (works whose popularity depends on craftsmanship). The former is more important for the progress of art, because polish runs counter to experimentation.

People who have been to Japan: what kind of food (if any) is served in/around japanese video arcades? Does american arcade fare like curly fries or nachos exist? Is it japanese-style junk food like takoyaki? One-handed/clean stuff like stuffed mochi, rice balls, meat buns, stuffed bread?

Hot take: most of the code a non-programmer end user runs should be written by that non-programmer end user, the same way most of the food a non-chef eats was cooked by that non-chef
