Just an experiment.
I find changing things deepens my understanding of the code. Successful changes mean that I am really understanding things.
Also, I like to try out alternatives from time to time to see what might be simpler.
I don't have the deep head to envision things ahead of time, so I tinker. That is just how I do it.

Again, just trying to simplify code -- not sure this qualifies.
One of the great things with Cuis is that Cuis is of a scale which allows folks like myself to try things out.
Given my relative lack of experience with Smalltalk development, the only way I have of measuring the usefulness of my experiments is to put out code as a conversation with the community.
Saying a particular experiment sucks or has poor esthetics or utility is fine feedback. No worries.
But hey, I like to tinker, And doing so in Cuis is a joy of life!
Thank you once again for Cuis!
