don't treat users like babies: the whole "we know better than you" vibe in software is condescending af. it's great to make the default path smooth and obvious – most people just want things to work. but the moment you seal off the deeper layers, you're basically saying "you're not smart enough to handle this." curiosity is natural. people want to understand how things work, they want to tinker, they want to make it theirs. when you hide the system, you're not protecting users – you're robbing them of agency and the joy of discovery. with cursor, you can just chat with it, or you can dive into the code, mess with context, tools, understand how the AI thinks. the system doesn't hide from you. black boxes create learned helplessness. transparent systems create power users. and power users become creators. they remix, they extend, they teach others. that's how communities form around tools. the best tools feel like instruments, not appliances. you can play a simple melody right away, but mastery is always available if you want it. make the layers discoverable, make the complexity gradual, make the tinkering fun. trust your users – they'll surprise you.
