Yeah I covered that in the “we constantly lie to ourselves” part. Computers have enabled us to do wonderful things. Like criticize people we don’t know for using software in a different way than we do. Yet we, as the creators of this software, have not only enabled them to use it “incorrectly”, we’ve actively encouraged it by saying things like “it’s not the computer’s fault it doesn’t know your dreams”.

If only those pesky users would just read the source code, they’d understand why this site works when you put www in front of it but doesn’t work without it! And if they want it changed, well it’s open source! They should send a pull request!
