Thanks, this was exactly the thrust of my analogy. I appreciate it when it lands for at least one person (though perhaps I could be a bit more precise in my writing)
You're welcome! I rely on analogies a lot and I find them helpful. Turns out many others think differently and don't find analogies an inherently helpful way to think. They get confused and get caught in details ("but chilly is spicy and that's good, but you don't want spicy code so... what?") It's just cool to see how many thinking models there are out there.
