C library functions are always like: "SYNOPSIS. This function converts foos into bars depending on the user locale. ARGUMENTS. src and dest pointers must be distinct; it is undefined behavior if they are not QPU-aligned. RETURN VALUE. Returns the number of foos converted. A zero value indicates failure, or that zero foos were converted. A negative value indicates that the final foo was only partially converted (function got tired). Check this global variable to find out why."

programming languages are actually a massive distraction from the main job of a programmer, which is to weep

tech monopolies are to blame for why software sucks so much.

software sucks because it's all developed with the intent to form exploitative monopolies. once a monopoly is established, they turn up the user- and vendor-hostile practices.

as long as tech monopolies are viable & lucrative, software will continue to suck.

could software not suck, under capitalism? maybe, but it requires severe punishment for anti-competitive practices.

the crisis in software was a crisis in capitalism all along.
