I like how easy Logic makes it for you to group things, so I can have a Guitar bus sending to my Instruments bus. The only thing is that if you didn't know what it was actually doing when it sets up busses and sends for you, it could all seem a big magical I think.

I'm excited to see how adding some different instrumentation behind my normally pretty sparse acoustic songs sound. I'm thinking some synth pads or arpeggios could be neat.

My wish is that we could all always assume everybody has good intentions and work together. The problem is that sometimes it's hard to make that assumption and you need to protect yourself.

If you don't wanna give him a gun, maybe some kind of less-lethal weapon from Wakanda? Tony had repulsors he carried around when he wasn't in the Ironman suit. Sam almost gets killed a couple of times because he has no way to defend himself aside from hand to hand combat.

Part of what made it easier was also that pre-GCD, a lot of apps were effectively threaded. You might wait for a network request and get called back via a delegate, but generally, your code ran on the main thread. Apps were also doing simpler things back then.
