      Reminds me of my first day of a computer programming class. My teacher told us to write down instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Then he would follow the instructions.

      “Put the peanut butter inside two slices of bread.” He’d grab the jar of peanut butter and put the whole jar inside two slices of bread

      “Grab a knife and scoop out the peanut butter.” He’d start stabbing the lid.

      Beautiful analogy of what it’s like to deal with technology
