So developers implement being able to click File > Save first and CTRL-S later. Later never comes because the devs ran out of time or were bad at their jobs. I'm an amateur web dev and I'd never heard of this preference. The applause that followed your remark surprised me. Surely your niche opinion on software was not already widely held by that audience; as you had said yourself in what I believe were your initial writings on the matter, you felt that you had held this question subconsciously for a long time before you could express it. But the applause also made sense on a different level. I feel like we all hate the mouse deep in our hearts.
i don't hate the mouse at all. it's one of the most important inventions of all time
