This rant is pretty simple: I hate all software. I've just had it. I
don't understand why people write or use software. I don't understand
why companies use software or employ people to use software. I'm too
frustrated. People keep on writing the same shoddy software which does
the same thing as all the other wheels only still crashes and corrupts
data and is 100k lines big and is hard to install and sucks up stupid
amounts of memory and doesn't actually do what you want and just
basically all sucks.

I used to like software. It did useful things for me. However, what was
really happening was that my frustration threshold was set too high
because I was a fool.

My threshold is now much much lower. And with any luck I won't
interact with much software while I'm diving (which is mostly what
I'll be doing now that I've quit my software job), other than my dive
computer, which has a sucky interface but at least it tells me how
deep I am and how long I should stay there.

If a piece of software crashes, we should execute the entire software
development and management team. This will lead to less software, and
hopefully some of it might actually not crash.

And don't get me started about hardware... Leon
