### A Seven-Year Journey: Lessons from Building and Maintaining a Commercial Unicode Tool for Apple Platforms with Rust at its Core

### Peace: Zero Stress Automation

by Azriel Hoh
Automation is great! Until it becomes so complex and needs to be used by those who didn't build it, then it becomes frustrating. And yet we never allocate time to make it understandable.

Come and see what it's like, if we built automation with empathy.
