I program for a living.

I can't stand all the smart shit people talk about. I hate installing software updates. I hate having to download an app just to use some shitty hardware. I hate needing an internet connection to use something. I hate having to charge yet another device.

I really hate software. I try to avoid it as much as possible.

There's an offshoot of smart device enthusiasts that insist everything is local and reproducible. But if you don't like software, it only makes it worse to try to keep things self-hosted, not to mention the learning curve is much, much steeper.
