all software development is language development 🤔

the Sea programming language.

it's exactly like C but instead of calling it undefined behavior, they say "you will drown".

a broken clock is right twice a day.

but if we remove the hour pointer, it's right once per hour.

if we also remove the minute pointer, it's right once per minute.

if we remove the seconds pointer, it's always right.

at this point you don't really need the clock face, so you can just look at a wall and say that, it's always right.

C library functions are always like: "SYNOPSIS. This function converts foos into bars depending on the user locale. ARGUMENTS. src and dest pointers must be distinct; it is undefined behavior if they are not QPU-aligned. RETURN VALUE. Returns the number of foos converted. A zero value indicates failure, or that zero foos were converted. A negative value indicates that the final foo was only partially converted (function got tired). Check this global variable to find out why."

*corridors of time intensifies*

In the long term, all corporate logos evolve toward an uppercase lambda Λ, resembling the letter 'A' with the bottom stroke missing, usually depicted in blue or blueish grey tones. This evolutionary process is known as lambdinization.

tech monopolies are to blame for why software sucks so much.

software sucks because it's all developed with the intent to form exploitative monopolies. once a monopoly is established, they turn up the user- and vendor-hostile practices.

as long as tech monopolies are viable & lucrative, software will continue to suck.

could software not suck, under capitalism? maybe, but it requires severe punishment for anti-competitive practices.

the crisis in software was a crisis in capitalism all along.
