I just realized this was the same author who made the apple watch integration for their gym entry system, I loved their writing then, and I loved it here!

Regarding the writing, I'm the opposite.. but I can't point out why I don't like it.

Maybe because the author is trying to sound sleek and sexy, "look at me, jetset international traveller", although the topic is so nerdy and dull, and the bragging feels off-putting to me.

(My opinion. Did I need to share it? probably not. Flag away if you think so)

No I agree, tone and context matters for technical writing too.

You've illuminated the issue for me. He's asking "What, you don't have the problem of needing to stay sweet of tax and visa regulations when you need to make a split-second decision whether you can spontaneously travel to Iceland?".

And it's not even a "sexy" problem.. it's bureaucracy!

		> whether you can spontaneously travel to Iceland on a budget. At least this is what it triggered for me.

I'm a PureGym member. I just memorised the 8 digit number that never changes and I input it manually. It takes seconds. I agree that the official app is garbage. I just don't want or need to get my phone out at all.
