Hemingway's shortest story. We all know the genre of ultra-short prose, thanks to old Twitter. Challenges for such stories, launched by different niche media, are still gaining popularity. My favorites are in sci-fi. Right after Watts. They married, old router and oven. Looks like I am ready to participate in a contest for the shortest stories in screenshot format. We see a housewife accustomed to life in a world constructed by a god from the machine, as if in "The Truman Show," stepping beyond the borders outlined by the producers. We see a robber shooting the parents of young Bruce Wayne. Machine learning, convenience of user interaction with software interfaces, designing intuitive interaction, emotional, damn it, design. They crumble into green symbols. Leaving the housewife alone with her Louis Vuitton bag and Hermès scarf in the middle of a desert, where at night the temperature drops to indecent and dangerous values. Step beyond the world carefully designed by a couple of billionaires, and it becomes uncomfortable. In the world of industrial software there is no place for delicate souls, no talk about user happiness, no billionaire rounding the corners. This is the Wild West. Here everyone is their own sheriff and could not care less about your values. Oh, this cowboy is a designer? Can you help my wife choose the curtain color for the bedroom?
