Imagine a computer like a PDP-11 but with more than 3 billion SP4T switches. The switches are various combinations of 'magic' and 'more magic'

the authors of the code are dead, there are no comments except for old code, and sometimes the comments run anyway

and it's wet

this is biology.

@NanoRaptor also it's the worst spaghetti code you've ever seen, the level of testing has been "eh fuck it, kinda works", and it's full of viruses
@Dangerous_beans @NanoRaptor The viruses are essential parts of the working system now, probably half the engineering is code stolen and transferred by viruses.
