## What Jamie wrote

Interesting take a the limits of expression based on the tool that you create in. The rather sensational title is really just highlighting that while Markdown is great for what it does, it limits how you can express yourself. And the point that Pombo makes is that then making the jump to something where you can do those things is too big. We need a more gradual curve to adopt more expressive capabilities. Thought provoking.
