About heresie-dabord

———— Once upon a time, it was fashionable in programming discourse for people to parade their skillful opinions about things they never really understood. And it still is. ———— There comes an uncanny point where a Corporation's beleaguered flailing is indistinguishable from Actualised General Incompetence. ———— During a hype rush, sell memes. ————
