Everything buckets are the future

by Jason Preston on February 24, 2009

In somewhat delayed response to Alex Payne’s objection to “everything buckets,” i.e. software like Yojimbo, I’d like to make the following comment:

Yes, computers work better with structured data.

I do not want to structure my data.

I want my computer to structure my data for me.

This is the definition of an everything bucket: a program that structures my data for me.
