The Trick – takes seconds to show, but hours, days, weeks, maybe even months to master. The Treat – is a quick ask – can I have something for nothing? The trick can get you a bigger treat than if you just asked because people will always recognize the work that went into it. Or sometimes you’ll get just the treat. You can ask for something and hope you get your worth, or show your value and get it.

These three formatting options have permeated our usage across all apps. Building a word editor? Better have B, I, and U as functions.

Throw a ball in the air, and it drops like a rock, picking up speed as it reaches the ground. Depending on how much gravity is applied, the rock will crash into little pebbles, a shell of its former self. End what I know about science and gravity. But right now, in our work, we are in a race to the bottom, and many are taking advantage of it. Yes, AI can produce much more than I can in minutes. But I’m always refactoring it. Yes, AI can search the world, providing me with all the answers to my questions I
