## What Jamie wrote

There are two software categories today that seem to be fighting for dominance as the controller of this: your home and your body. Fitness apps all want to track everything. And every app that does anything with a smart device in your home seems to want to claim home turf to all things in your home. As they attempt to do that, the user experience suffers and they fill the app with garbage.
