Guys, can we stop it with the talk of “dumbing down”? It’s a really loaded way of saying “simplifying” or “making more accessible for newcomers” that mean the same thing without the implied insult to people who think that might be desirable. Of course, it’s absolutely fine not to want that, or to think it comes at too high a cost, or could be done differently, and to think it alienates people who prefer complexity or building expertise. But using a less judgemental expression at least suggests you’re open to constructive discussion!
