🌶️ spicy take, software correctness 

The common ways that software developers try to solve software correctness reminds me of broader societal issues...

Automated tests: don't try to solve the systemic problem, just institute enough procedures for specific cases and hope you've covered enough of it

Static type checking: don't try to solve the systemic problem, just treat everything and everybody as untrustworthy, you cannot trust anything that isn't verified by a computer

(Please do not reply with 'counterarguments' until you *really* understand where the analogies are coming from here)

on walt whitman's 64th birthday, he wrote a letter to a dear friend of his:

"the principal object of my life seems to have been accomplish’d - I have the most devoted and ardent of friends, and affectionate relatives - and of enemies I really make no account."

walt was not a celebrated poet at the time - he confronted life and find meaning for himself through his friends and relatives

it moves me to tears & inspires me

when walt died, 1,000 people went to his funeral
