Coding for the unexpected
Rated • 1 review • computer science, hacking, programming • onlineaspect.com
One of the things I love about computers is that they are boringly consistent. Given the same input, a computer will return the same output EVERY SINGLE TIME. Likewise, code doesn't change. I could save a file on my computer and if it weren't for hardware failure it would remain the same byte-for-byte until the end of time. Code doesn't change. It's just a bunch of mathematical statements bound together by rules of logic that are burned into a tiny computer chip. Or in geek terminology, code is immutable.
In theory this sounds great. The problem is it doesn't mesh with the everyday reality of my life. My code breaks all the time without me changing a thing.
