@palmin Computer programs are annoying to write, and badly-written computer programs are annoying to read. One of life's greatest miseries can be the composition of a computer program that you know will be frustrating for other people to read, and for yourself to read.

Computer programs can also impede useful work. One of life's greatest sources of despair is the knowledge that something you have created is contributing to the regress or poverty of society.

@palmin
Some people even get under-paid for writing bad computer programs! Programming can therefore be triply degrading on aesthetic, humanitarian, and economic grounds.
