Software Disenchantment (2018) | Hacker News
That's a good observation on many levels.For instance, I started noticing that a lot of the code I've written or worked with in many projects have a particular flavor to it. Pieces that take some data, repackage it, and pass it on to different code that does essentially the same - all arranged in a structure that's supposed to reflect some shared, abstract understanding of the problem. I've started to call this type of code "bureaucracy", and I see it as something to be kept in check.

V nebi mě nechtějí, v pekle se mě bojí, tak pořád závodím, říká čtyřiasedmdesátiletý autokrosař Hošek
Papuče a fajfka? Kdepak jedna z největších legend českého autokrosu čtyřiasedmdesátiletý Jaroslav Hošek pořád závodí a prohání věkově už i svoje vnuky doma i v Evropě. „Autokros, to jsem já," řekl kdysi v nadsázce. Měl pravdu. Letos jede v bugině, samozřejmě vlastní konstrukce, už šestačtyřicátou sezónu. Vyhrál všechno, co se vyhrát dalo, na autokrosových tratích je suverénně nejstarší, na konec kariéry ale zdaleka nepomýšlí.
