imagine if you had to console.log every line of code. this doubling of code wouldn't halve efficiency, it'd grind it to a halt. that's what ego is like when it produces arrested development.

code is the wind rustling the leaves. source code is the manipulated environment of hot and cold spots in a carefully controlled miniature universe. (made up of discrete blocks)

people who fall in love with what they create are trying to love who they become in that act of creation. yet the act of loving the thing prevents the loving of the process that produced the thing. they are afraid to walk away from the mirror that reflects them so beautifully.

bad code is always egoic code. it's the brittle "me me me" chain that shouldn't be that long. You can't break the chain of a thousand me's without killing all of it and making the "me" angry. a house a cards is the worst kind of prison.

realizing feelings are just thoughts petrifies you from the inside out. realizing thoughts are just feelings traps you from the outside in.

code becomes alive as syntax is realized into reality via the imperfectly translated story a computer tell to the user. code is just marshalling what you want to say into a format that can be compressed and infinitely duplicated. (while losing tons of fidelity in the process)

without the user, the spark of communication never flies. bad code like the me-me-me ego chain is overly optimized to a single user. it's useless junk to trip on for anyone who is not the hoarder.

What is beautiful and created through complexity says in pride: "This was me.". What is beautiful and created through simplicity says in wonder: "This was not me."

a democratic process that doesn't not create simplicity creates totalitarianism as only those so disposed as master puppeteers can deal with all the knots. deadlock is the feature, deadlock is the bug.

shadow, I can't ever see what you are but I know you'll always be next to me if I accept that you are always with me. so perfectly in sync, this dance of one.

love is like binary, it's just the flash in darkness that makes up the building blocks of everything. Pop Quiz: you have 10 millions pieces of Love and you must create a 1:1000 replica of Holocaust. You have 2 hours.

hint, just like Turing completeness there is Love completeness. If you can build the basic gates, you can build anything. The first gate is negation Love -> Hate. and is mandatory.
Show this thread -
the second gate is one of either AND: the ability to turn hate && hate into love at the cost of also the ability to turn love && love into hate.
Show this thread -
or OR: the ability to consume any amount of hate into love as long as there is at least one love.
Show this thread -
Both AND and OR are both critical but they're each right when each points to the other as unnecessary.
