      “Every program could be made at least slightly shorter, and every program has at least one bug. By induction, we can assume that every program can be reduced to a single instruction that doesn’t work.”

        @mweagle I'd add:

        - We actually should do this.
        - What's this?
        - Who are you? And what are you doing in my office?

                      @mweagle works for the whole capitalism thing too, I guess (currently "modern computing" being the tip of that iceberg)

                          @mweagle computers can be a force of good. is this the time to still be self-deprecating? the age of enlightenment is at stake.

                              @mweagle In IT, the sky used to be the limit.

                              Then we invented clouds.
