heard Toni Lütke use the term goal oriented products as an evolution beyond products with lots of user knobs for tweaking user preferences

feel like this is a big and underrated idea

also one I first really ran into in practice from Dan and V

Building @warpcast and @farcaster / dad / like to read, cook, ski, code

initially my reaction was somewhat against with the idea that users having more control over their software is better

there’s merit and value in that idea of users control but limitations

but the idea behind (well done) goal oriented isn’t to take away user control  but to work harder to help them get what they want 

since I have a largely dev audience I’ll use a coding intuition pump: while C is great and there’s a time and place for it using a higher level language that requires less work on the developers part to achieve the same thing is a good thing more so than taking away  control

gives you space to think on a higher level about what you’re trying to do

another: manual transmission -> automatic transmission -> self driving

there will always be the specialist who loves and appreciates the manual but for most people who are living their busy lives and the automatic and then self driving are better

mosdef the right wave to ride. feels related to the jobs-to-be-done thought technology
