Building on the riffs on situated software from last week.

Most software has to assume a generic context--wide applicability to many different users and use cases.

Situated software assumes a highly bespoke context.

Someone who looks at it who is outside that specific context might think: "oh that's hideous and non viable!"

But the reality is it is perfectly, sublimely viable... in one very particular context.

The thing that makes situated software not just "good enough" but "sublimely perfect" is that the creator applied their own creative effort to solve precisely the problem they had.

Situated software is perfect for the creator because it is the creator acting like an owner.
