One of my favorite "you can just do things" experiences was one day thinking it'd be nice if our friend group had a group Christmas party ... and then just starting one. Kept it going five or so years, faded out after a while after people started taking turns and logistics piled up, but I'm proud of having pulled it off.

But man do they take a lot of time, money, and dedication to pull off well.

Author here, yikes, sorry about that. Going to go get that fixed.

Absolutely, but it came several years before MIME for example for formatted emails with attachments, and other things.

Author here, the idea with the title was that Lotus Notes was built at a time when the standards for email especially but also interfaces and keyboard shortcuts were still in flux, and it was built for so many platforms at the same time, all of which contributed to many of the complaints about its interface seeming like a mess. It was starting from scratch with opinionated takes about how the software should work, and that’s a tough spot to build in (and which partly accounts for both the fond and bad memories that both typically surface whenever Lotus Notes is mentioned).

Washing dishes, strangely, hits that for me. One of the reasons I've never found dishwashers to be worth it.

There are dozens of us!
