Software in the last decade, by chasing the marginal user, has infantilized users.

More and more guardrails to keep users on the safe path we designed for them.

But even if users want to go off the path, they can't.

The ability of a user to go off the path is a muscle that has to be strengthened for a user to successfully do it.

Now a lot of people who could get good at it never started.

More people are held hostage to the well-lit paths.
