So everything is just a pile of barely working code added\non top of previously written barely working code. It keeps\ngrowing in size and complexity, diminishing any chance for\na change.\n\nTo have a healthy ecosystem you need to go back and revisit.\nYou need to occasionally throw stuff away and replace it with\nbetter stuff.\n\n - Nikita Tonsky, 2018-09-17\n blog post on tonsky.me\n ("Software Disenchantment")

Once upon a time there was a DOS user who saw Unix, and saw that\nit was good. After typing cp on his DOS machine at home, he\ndownloaded GNU's unix tools ported to DOS and installed them.\nHe rm'd, cp'd, and mv'd happily for many days, and upon finding\nelvis, he vi'd and was happy. After a long day at work (on a Unix\nbox) he came home, started editing a file, and couldn't figure\nout why he couldn't suspend vi (w/ ctrl-z) to do a compile.\n\n - Erik Troan <ewt@tipper.oit.unc.edu>

An ant crosses your carpet. A spider weaves a pattern older than mammals beneath your stairs. Just nod, breathe, and think, "Good. It's all still here. The forest, the mountains, the desert. At home in my home." The sterile white box is the stranger. Not the ant. Not the spider.\n\n - @CryptoNature@twitter.com, 2018-27-08
