When anything can be produced instantly, perfection stops being impressive. What stands out instead is evidence of intent: a choice, a mistake left in on purpose, a detail only someone who cared would add.
This is not nostalgia. It is a reasonable response to abundance. People look for signs that someone spent attention on them, because attention is the one thing that stays scarce.
“Craft is the visible trace of someone caring.”
For anyone making work, the lesson is encouraging: the more tools can do, the more your specific taste is worth.
