programmers love abstractions but i hate them. id rather have less features but know what the fuck is going on. ideally we should get rid of 90% of all features. fuck making things extensible, make them nice

how can i encapsulate this sentiment in a single word name for the operating system im gonna make

clear as in "transparent."
