little boxes -- out loud thought splat

We like boxes

ST2 2h talk, nothing new, just freshly made in a nice shiny box
boxes are bounded, they break after a while
someone makes a new box, better than the previous one
nope, still a box, will break in a while

growth implies organisms
linux is a bazaar
lisp is a ball of mud
scheme is a snowball
emacs is a smaller bazaar

Emacs can do everything ST2 does, it's just not vanilla, organic legacy tax
elders like the old way
new thing are opt-in
newcomers don't like emacs because it's not a box, not a simple shape, no small external interface
that's its yin yang
