hello frens! I'm tooting at @skye mostly these days.
I remember to check Mastodon maybe once a week these days? But it seems I'm still getting notifications on a toot that's two months old 👀

Some human invented M4 and sendmail and X11 conf files. Some actual human. We did this. We did it to ourselves.

@jk Any engineer who tells you that well-written code is self-documenting has failed to understand the question: code can only tell you _what_ it is doing. It cannot tell you _why_. It cannot answer the fundamental question "what made this design the right choice, as opposed to any other implementation, based on the constraints that existed when we wrote it?" As such, even the best-written code cannot truly "self-document."

So I try to thank @rey for being an awesome admin repetitively. Really whenever I can reasonably do so. Because they are awesome. But I'd like to takes this toot and co-opt it to thank all of the #MastadonAdministrators, #GNUSocialAdministrators, and generally all of the #FediverseAdministrators for putting up with this stupidly stressful clusterfuck of a volunteer service.
You are all awesome. @rey is just slightly more awesome due to proximity. Root, root root for the home-min :3 #ThankYou
