modern programming is like,
"if you're using bongo.rs to parse http headers, you will need to also install bepis to get buffered read support. but please note that bepis switched to using sasquatch for parallel tokenization as of version 0.0.67, so you will need the bongo-sasquatch extension crate as well."
old-time programming is like,
"i made a typo in this function in 1993. theo de raadt got so angry he punched a wall when he saw it. for ABI compatibility reasons, we shan't fix the typo."

@silverwizard @saddestrobots I've taken courses and read books on programming and I feel like none of has much of anything to do with what developers actually do.

@amy@decept.org @saddestrobots@jorts.horse webdev is both the former and the latter at the same time. fixing typeof null === "object" would break the internet, so instead we need 600 libraries on top to fix it instead
