  "textContent": "Tim Feriss' 5 Bullet Friday today included this quote... To roughly paraphrase my friend, who’s a fan of minimalist packing, “I would rather have one pair of footwear that does everything well enough than carry a bunch of specialist footwear that does things better than I need.” We both only brought carry-on luggage. This is exactly how I think about my own kit when I travel, or head out hiking. But it's also how I often think about the design of systems, processes and software tools. With the latter, \"well enough\" is often a high bar and so requires a bunch of specialist software. But wherever something we already have is good enough, stick with it until it isn't.",
