Non-programmers have invaded the programming area. It wouldn’t be bad except some of them wear way too much perfume or cologne. Feel like I need a gas or filter mask.

@sdk@codevoid.de a random mix into the the twtxt file seems less clean to me. The former would be easier to implement and simpler for another program to get and parse.

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org Most programmers are just users that are writing/maintaining programs. Most can’t even handle the underlying OS, let alone a Network or a Server.

This is a very hot take and also not a new one but here we go: the goal of a properly functioning software engineer is to obviate themselves, not by solving the customer’s specific problems but by blurring the line between using a computer and programming one to the point where users can solve their own problems.

Another formulation: the best of today’s GUIs make easy things easy and hard things impossible. The best of today’s programming languages make easy things hard and hard things harder. We don’t have a system that makes easy things easy and hard things merely hard for backwards-compatibility reasons.

There are two classes of bug. One is where the program doesn’t match your mental model of the program. The other is when the problem doesn’t match your mental model of the problem. Most bugs are both.
