code is such a weird thing. Its business logic, its infrastructure, its short stories, its documentation. I also think of it like investments and debts

its so many things and so complicated.

Code is just an analog for life and its duality.

Its all those things and none of those things.

Code is code. Humans are the ones with the obsession of abstracting and categorizing things to make ourselves feel better. In reality, none of those things actually exist

It's also really bad contract law.
