Computers can be understood

Computers and computer systems are build up from deterministic, comprehensible, building blocks. Their operations and behaviors can be understood and reasoned about. I relate my personal beliefs and mindset on this point, and explore some manifestations and ramifications of this philosophy.

@hailey good post. @ the AWS bit - I think these systems are intentionally complex and hard to understand. *you're not supposed to understand them*. and that's a feature. these companies want buy-in, and they want people doing stuff via trial and error, so that the cloud bills are fatter and they can sell you consultants. I feel the AI coding thing is an extension of that :/
