Programming complications

For this article, I hereby define “complication” as “something that can’t be detangled from its outside”.

90% of the complications i encountered in software development are caused by people’s hallucinations.

the rest 10% are hallucinated directly by me or otherwise.

90% of feature requests I received are hallucinated

I’m not talking about the open source community, which is like heaven when compared to the harsh reality that is called “the general population”.

Examples:

Q: I want to buy for stuff with electronic transaction without leaving a trace.
A (me): Ask your government to cancel banking KYC or use crypto.
Q: … and I will pay you at most 14EUR/hour for your work to finish my request.
A (me): …

Q: I want to achieve $a(b, c, d, e, f, g, h)$.
A (me): What is $a$?
Q: $a$ is $i(j, k, l, m, n, o, p)$.
A (me): What is $i$?
Q: Why are you attacking me? Why can’t you speak in a way that I can understand?
A: … What languages do you know?
Q: Chinese (Mandarin)?
A: What is Chinese?
Q: A language used by China?
A: What about Malaysia?
Q: See? You are attacking me again instead of trying to understand me.

I shall applaud companies who can profit from them using software, for exerting the effort.

90% of people I met hallucinate in ≥60% of their thoughts

How to diagnose someone’s mental complications?

大般若經第十會 般若理趣分（卷578） says: 敬禮甚深般若波羅蜜多！覺性金剛！ which means that 甚深般若波羅蜜多 ≈ 覺性金剛.

覺性 ≈ Awareness

金剛 ≈ immovable object

If this immovable object is moved through a person, all that person’s mental complications and non-complications are displaced. An exact diagnosis can be made by observing the displacement without guessing.

That exact diagnosis cannot be expressed with language or computation, no.

A list of programming complications

If someone can (theoretically) achieve something but can’t due to mental complications they have, it’s because of these 3 reasons (rare cases excluded):

• They don’t want to.
• They don’t dare to.
• They don’t care to.

Not wanting to do something is not a mental complication, but both wanting and not wanting in the same thought is. Being in an unstable state like a flip flop also counts.

et sic de ceteris.

The Buddhist religion describes this world and many other worlds as 苦海, which ≈ sea of suffering. We will borrow the analogy.

From what I’ve seen so far, there are people who:

1. lies flat and float on top
2. is used to swimming
3. loves swimming
4. is used to drinking
5. loves drinking
6. is used to drowning
7. loves drowning

The classification is for the lols; please do not use it for diagnostics without guessing.

Conclusion

Dogs hallucinate in ~20% of their thoughts.
