@stilgherrian@eigenmagic.net I tried it once but it's just too much FUN getting bug reports constantly to want to change things up.

The trouble we always encounter is, people *also* want the software to *do* something. No one has figured out how to make software that always does the right thing, never does the wrong thing, and is still useful enough that people want it. @stilgherrian@eigenmagic.net

@stilgherrian@eigenmagic.net I’m sure my “hello world” application has zero bugs but it has yet to undergo fuzzing or mythos. Wish me luck!

@stilgherrian@eigenmagic.net all software which is anything other than trivial contains bugs. The best you can do is have a well thought out and extensive testing regime to catch the majority of them. But even test code itself will contain bugs too. Accept you own limitations and organise around them.

@stilgherrian@eigenmagic.net Sure! First I need to write a better editor. Ooh, and a better language. Oh, and a universe with math that doesn’t have the halting problem… I’m pondering step 2 and 3 atm.
