In software, we’ll see feature/function presentations (literally going item by item through the menus!). We’ll see tutorials to achieve a particular goal without presenting an underlying model. Realize that every procedure, software, or behavior has a model that drives the reason why it should be done in a particular way, and find it.

Some of our tools are still not doing a good job of that, and the tutorials still tend to be focused on either product features or rote procedures, instead of helping you understand the software model underneath. You’ll want good defaults, and then the ability to customize. We could do a lot better!
