@levork@graphics.social I think what you miss from the house analogy is that it's a "very efficient looking house": Everything is fine on paper, but if you start living in it you notice the problems: the plumbing is a mess that will start to leak in 6 month, the counter -- despite it's size -- has bad space utilization, there should be a shelf on the wall, the wall sockets and light switches are all located at slightly inconvenient places, the wallpaper gets dirty at the smallest provocation and is impossible to clean without damage, the AC requires maintenance by a licensed technician every couple of months, etc.

  • @dragonfi@social.jsteuernagel.de @levork@graphics.social this is, in fact, a problem with a lot of newly built houses where the builder has cheaped out on the labor costs. Everything looks nice on the surface, but it’s a huge mess underneath.
