I love the almost spiritual nature of software development. It sounds crazy but the best devs I have ever worked with all immediately understood this perspective or had their own version of it.

The way we have these three categories of programming styles… off in one rhetorical direction, we see millions of little threads, innumerable individual languages, syntaxes, little styles… in the other direction? A monadic unity. All three categories are programming languages, which are just… forms of communication… which is just, well, shifting values of information. And that? Information? Formally it’s the potential for data but philosophically it is the noumena itself. The information world and the real world are one in the same.

I think people who are under the false impression that “everything has already been discovered” are so unfortunately blind to the beautiful world we have been endowed to discover, especially in contemporary times.
