some people try to make fun of open source devs writing bad code, but i don't like that:

  • everyone writes bad code before they write good code, it's nice if they feel safe enough to publish it
  • they'll probably read it and get angry or sad
  • lots of programmers have zero chill and an ironclad belief that their personal preference is objectively the best

i make fun of corporations releasing products:

  • they really ought to know better after the 15th IoT devce on the market
  • corporations don't have feelings and the people making chea... value-optimized devices come home and don't think about what they've done
  • bureaucracies are great producing unbelievably dumb shit no single individual could possibly manage
