Modern programming is the most miserable work imaginable. Everything is overcomplicated for no reason and is made as incomprehensible as possible.</p> + +<p>This is now self-sustaining. Since only the worst people could like modern programming, they now dominate programming and continuously make it worse. A good person would recoil from the horror of modern programming and would choose something else to do.</p> + +<p>This nightmare isn't intrinsic in programming itself. Programming can be good. It can be simple and easy. It is only the current vicious cycle that makes programming such a horror.</p> + +<p>Modern culture generally shares the same bad values as modern programming has. But modern programming is the very worst of modern culture taken to an extreme. So what happens when members of good culture like traditional Anabaptists or Japanese do programming? The self-sustaining cycle described above still applies. Only the worst people of these good cultures can tolerate modern programming, so bad people are still selected for. How do I know this to be true? I have seen it on a Mennonite forum and I have seen it on Japanese online discussions of programming.</p> + +<p>I started programming before programming went bad. As I saw programming get worse, I developed my own programming tools to avoid the horror of modern programming. So my programming is still good - simple and easy. But since programmers turned bad along with programming, modern programmers hate my tools. They also hate other good tools I use made by other programmers, like Mercurial. Modern programmers hate all good things.</p> + +<p>So now programming is hopeless. If I manage to make a successful business, I could hire a non-programmer and teach him good programming. That is the only way that more good programming could happen. Current modern programmers are evil and can never do good programming.</p> + + </div> + </body> +</html>
