I agree. But can’t generalize, also depends on the field, genre, person, her quality level, etc. Faulkner wouldn’t need a computer, nor Einstein, but their assistants would have been much more useful to either with them.

That’s what I said a few times here, the biggest tool is the mind, but nobody talks about how to develop that for productive and/or creative purposes much, just software. Sort of software fetish.

BTW the guy in the clip below in silver on TV, Larry David who created Seinfeld and then Curb your enthusiasm, has a unique genius note taking system, secret to his success but you won’t find anything on that online + his mastery of his field & genre which took decades.
