@yosh@toot.yosh.is I think that anyone who looks at the state of software and software systems seriously, especially if you don't cloud your judgement by self-congratulating on being able to deal with glorified puzzling, has to admit that there is a lot of accidental complexity in how we deal with computers in general. This also reminds me of the joke article about why Stroustrup make C++: https://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/I_did_it_for_you_all.
