    1. We could do this better
    2. We should not do this at all

          “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.
