I'm not sure if that's true or not, but it is true. So true. But their single sign on was such a mess. Like they consolidated things. And now I have an Atlassian account and I don't care. Cause I, all I use is Trello, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. That's just one dynamic of, of people problems. You know, it's like,

Yeah.

And then the other golden rule, which is like most of the time a spreadsheet's best.

When in doubt, spreadsheet it. Seriously. Start with a spreadsheet. Start with a spreadsheet. And probably stay there unless there's a real reason to move out. I know you've prompted me many times to write us some custom stuff. I still want you to. I know you do.

And I'm like, you know how much work I had to put in to get anywhere near what you have with Google Sheets right now? Like, let's just keep using that because it's so flexible. It is. And you're going to hate whatever I build until I, you know, dump years into it. Yeah. What have you been building a backend sales system for years? So I've been very resistant.

As you know, I'm a tough sell, especially when it comes to writing code. I'd rather have no code than code. That's the best. No code is the best. Some of this lock-in fatigue that you have is one of the reasons why I, to this day, and maybe it won't last, but I still love Obsidian because its philosophy of file over app takes me... To happy places.

I just love the fact that at the end of the day, I'm writing markdown files. And I can take those anywhere and they just store on a hard drive and I can sync them with Dropbox. And if Obsidian disappeared, I'd be just fine. I have plenty of other markdown editors, including Zed, which I write code in all the day. All the day long. Weird sentence. Yeah. And I love that.

And Steph Ango, the creator of Obsidian, has this whole philosophy written out. It's called file over app that he wrote. I'd love to get him on the show. By the way, Steph, if you listen, please come on the show. We are fans. We'd love to talk to you.

And if you listen and you know Steph and you can help Steph know that we'd like to have him on the show, please hook us up. He's a very interesting person. Lots of that stuff I agree with. I'll link up in the show notes his post called File Over App. It's a philosophy.

He says, if you want to create digital artifacts that last, they must be files you can control in formats that are easy to retrieve and read. Use tools that give you this freedom. I like that. And I like Obsidian for that reason, because at the end of the day, it's just an awesome, I think, layer on top of files. And that gives us freedom and lack of logic.
