There is a lot to like about this article. I would not be at all surprised if the author was really enjoying writing "I am not technical" and embedding the thought in one of the least technical essays I've ever read on HN. She clearly understands dot points well and is determined to stay a safe distance from them.

I don't think there are any actual take-aways beyond an appreciation of rather well done nontechnical perspective take on what the technical world looks like. Although that is rare enough around here to make it quite interesting.
