programming is terrible

• simple — It solves my use case.

• opinionated — I don’t believe that your use case exists.

• elegant — The only use case is making me feel smart.

• lightweight — I don’t understand the use-cases the alternatives solve.

• configurable — It’s your job to make it usable.

• minimal — You’re going to have to write more code than I did to make it useful.

• util — A collection of wrappers around the standard library, battle worn, and copy-pasted from last weeks project into next weeks.

• dsl — A domain specific language, where code is written in one language and errors are given in another.

• framework — A product with the business logic removed, but all of the assumptions left in.

• documented —There are podcasts, screencasts and answers on stack overflow.

• startup — A business without a business plan.

• hackday — A competition where the entry fee is sleep deprivation and the prize is vendor lock in.

• entrepreneur — One who sets out to provide a return on investment.

• serial entrepreneur — One who has yet to provide a return on investment.

• disrupt — To overcome any legal, social, or moral barrier to profit.
