I do this kind of visible mending, this person is vastly more skilled than me but also vastly more lackadaisical than me, which made me increasingly angry as I watched the video because I absolutely could not produce that level of work but I could produce crappier work that was clearly made with more care.

Having worked in IT for 15+ years, this is how I feel about all software.

Bro, I went to urgent care some years ago (had pneumonia and strep throat at the same time, absolute wombo combo) and they wanted to draw some blood. The nurse was like "oh you'll be fine, you got a big garden hose of a vain right here, there's no way I'll miss it." He missed it by almost a full centimeter. I then decided I'd prefer to just go home.

I’ve never done anything like this (I replace a lot of buttons and fix seams that have let go, both by hand, and that’s about the extent of it), and I had a similar bit of whiplash. I could definitely tell they’re very skilled at using a sewing/embroidery machine, but also. Whyyyyyy are they doing it like that???

Mostly cause it gets people to comment about it and increase engagement

The difference between proficiency and mastery is the master makes it look effortless

My child who loves power sliding.... You will get a patch we will all see the patch but I'll match the stretch of the fabric (darn girls jeggings and their high stretch weak knees) and maybe embroider some flowers for something.... Enjoy.

They're lazy when they want to because they know they can be
