Flip it around for a moment. If your life was effortlessly smooth and utopian how bland would it be?

In a fast-evolving world, flexibility is a cardinal virtue; it could be that lifestyle design going anything beyond janky would in fact be premature optimization, resulting in sunk costs that make one less adaptable.

In the ancient world, anyone as productive would have a large number of servants to smoothen out their daily activities. AI-servants are not there yet, and SaaS-tooling is the best we got now, but sooner or later Life Well-Oiling Servants as a Service (LW-OSaaS) will be here.

Anything that isn’t janky runs the risk of being overoptimized. Jankiness means you integrated it enough to meet some basic level of functionality. There might be some idealized non-janky version of your live, but it’s questionable wether it’s worth the energy to find it.

Jankiness implies a good enough, minimum viable product approach without really perfecting something. It's the
way of living.
If you earn your means by being a context whisperer, being janky allows you to hop.
The alternative would be fine-tuning to the point of fragility.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Suspect it can correlate with certain kinds of attainable value. Often encounter as trade-off for benefits which would otherwise be significantly more difficult or costly to acquire. Ex. a relatively nice car/apartment/gadget etc w annoying quirks from age or general unrefinement

Well oiled machines make you complacent. Fostering an ever increasing tolerance for jankyness is polymath plyometrics.

Your life is a fractal of small world networks. It doesn't feel well connected, but the avg node distance is shortened by random edges, so it is still comprehensible.

Jankiness could result from an interaction between preferences and the environment, or be a result of a mismatch between the resources needed to fully address a challenge and the resources available. A change of preferences, environment, or resources might change jankiness level.

Kinda works, and not too fragile, but definitely not a well-oiled machine
Somebody theorize jankiness please. I'm too le tired to do it
