Humane infrastructure is not soft. It is rated for the bad hour: the tired version of you, the frightened one, the one with one hand free and no signal, the one who does not speak the system's first language. The choices buried deepest are the ones hardest to appeal, which is why they are the ones to get right.

You barely noticed.
Someone planned for the version of you who would need that.
A good system does not require your best day.
