The rule of *optimization* is that you can replace a program with any other program as long as both programs perform the same work. That means that programming environments may do wild things if their creators think that nobody ought to notice the difference.

Assuming noise and assuming noiselessness are both useful postures in programming : never crash on error and always crash on error are both useful properties of systems.

the "diagonalization argument" is one of my favorite proofs in mathematics and probably the reason I became a math major. it's simple but very powerful, a doorway to the idea that there are different levels of infinities, some "more infinite" than others 👇

Smalltalk was influenced by Piaget and Papert's child education research, and I can't help but wonder if "late binding" -- any object can receive any message, and how it responds can change at runtime -- was intended to model an "open mind"

Something big happened when computers stopped shipping with compilers.

5/ It isn't a foregone conclusion that crummy relationships mediated by technology will evolve into good relationships mediated by technology. However, I think that we can continue to create technology that enables and structures good relationships, if we work hard enough.

4/ Nowadays I interact with folks inside of a very large, geographically distributed, highly mechanised organization all the time, and it's usually point to point or in small groups, and it's great and I end up making friends! But I think it took a long time to get to where it is

3/ This fear makes sense. If you need a lot of time clocks and filing cabinets and forms-in-triplicate to mediate a relationship, that might be a bad relationship.

2/ but computers as business automation are part of what folks fear about computers - you can use a computer to prop up or even create broken and inhumane business cultures.

1/ An awful lot of computer programs exist to automate communication and record keeping around business processes. This is ok! Cheaper paperclips is are a good thing! Fewer hassles at work is great! A lot of human communication is business processes.

I once saw one of the original UNIX folks describe a pillar of their philosophy with "We just didn't know how to write big programs."
I suspect we still don't know how to write big programs.

there's a learn-to-code argument that, like, learning code gives you agency over your tech
i'm uncomfortable w/ that argument, & i think "our data is stuck in apps" is why: no matter how skilled a programmer you become, you still won't control many apps. it's a structural issue twitter.com/yoshikischmitz…

I've heard (and said) the phrase "sublinear" to mean "bounded above by O(N)"? Does that help?

I agree! "This content is the same as that content, they have the same name" is a clearer idea than "this particular record". I think we can come up with ideas that fit into networks better than identity (eg. "content", "name", "address") for making good systems.
