Tech is the funniest industry and it always will be.

It's a bunch of people who think they are creatures of pure logic, but every problem they try to solve turns out to be a human problem that is inherently illogical.

The results are endlessly hysterical.

@forrestbrazeal @rosstulloch Not to mention that we think everything we don’t immediately understand (and half the stuff we do) is some sort of dark sorcery.

@alesplin @forrestbrazeal It's a good reminder to always question our beliefs about the things we're positive about too. I know I don't do this enough.

@rosstulloch @forrestbrazeal I also think it’s funny that we think we’ve invented these “unambiguous” ways to instruct computers to do things when literally every line of code we write reflects our own bias. Granted, a lot of the time that bias is completely harmless: I order function parameters a certain way, etc. But how many times does our bias affect finding a bug? I intended to write `i = 1` therefore I couldn’t possibly have written `i = 1`, that kind of thing.
