On being a technical minimalist

Minimalism

I asked Copilot to generate an image for me that depicted minimalism, and this is what it came up with.

AI is getting better almost daily, but I’m not quite 100% on board with it yet. I may explore that in other posts.

So I’m a mobilist, I’m into portability, I like to travel lightly, all of that encompasses minimalism.

Being a minimalist and a technologist means I try when I can to use things as much as I can the way they come out of the box. If I can avoid it I don’t care for 3rd party add-ons but just try to use things the way the designer intended them to be used.

This often requires some out of the box thinking. I look for solutions to things I need solutions for, but sometimes, when it’s going to be more of an effort to make the solution work the way I want it to, when I step back and get a wider view of the problem, it may be that what needs to change is my perception. Maybe I’m looking for a problem for the solution I have or want to put into place.

Sometimes I just need to back the car up and go down a different road where I encounter fewer things that require solutioning and can keep things simpler and more streamlined.

Simpler is usually better for me.
