@intrcnnctd @genmon okay, so there's a lot of good replies to this looking at it from the point of view of the economy of domestic labour etc etc. but there's an area which i think would be a precursor to this, in that it is a more constrained problem in the same space.Permalink Look on archive.org

@intrcnnctd @genmon and it's a way easier problem to solve - the items of clothing are identical, you don't have to worry about children wandering around, you can start with the very easiest parts. but we don't have that for anything more difficult than, like, hemming towels.Look on archive.org
