I just redefined technology as “something made by humans that barely works”

If you look at the stacks we build everything on top of, it’s insanely brittle and barely works. We simply lie to ourselves that it’s otherwise so we can get out of bed in the morning actually ship something that’s useful to another human being.

If you don’t believe me, look at the organization or source code behind the black box you’ve built everything on. By some miracle it works, but barely.

I’ve found the best book that describes this is “The Systems Bible” — https://www.amazon.com/Systems-Bible-Beginners-Guide-Large/d...

You’ll chuckle as you read it and learn to embrace the miracle that anything works.
