Interestingly, no one asked me what software I used when I created diagrams in the vector graphics app sketch[0], but once I started using ascii diagrams using monodraw[1], everyone wanted to know what I was using.

I find the aesthetic extremely "precious;" that's why I do it. Affectations are memorable.
