les outils techniques sont presque devenus des objets religieux (on ne les utilise plus pour ce qu'ils apportent, mais parce que tout le monde les utilise ou que l'entreprise "a toujours fait comme ça".)
Some of the most effective thinkers and builders have advocated for simpler tools. Patrick Collison uses Google Docs. Paul Graham writes in plain text. Charlie Munger used legal pads and yellow highlighters. None of them were hurting for productivity.
The lesson here is not anti-technology. It is anti-theater. Simplicity scales because it reduces the cognitive overhead required to act. It does not announce your intelligence, it lets you apply it.
When everyone else is playing on hard mode [using complicated tools] for the social capital, you can win by playing on easy mode for the actual capital.
