Nice property of software: when you've finished perfecting your creation, you click save and it's preserved forever. Could never be a chef because someone instead literally eats the creation you've poured your heart into.

If there was a data structure to store food that could be used by food printers, the cooking world would be transformed. Same goes for many fields re: data structures and machines to use them. blog.aqnichol.com/2021/04/12…

Call Nathan Myrvold and do a modernist cooking bot with him. I‘d be eager to assist. This solves your chef problem with technology. It‘s called CI, for Cooking Intelligence. And gives you more time together with your wife to explore the taste universe, that‘s called value add. K?

Also chefs need to make the same perfection over and over. And the point on making software is to not have to do that.

Idk. Isn’t it worse with software? You build something and it dies a slow painful death by gradual irrelevance
