I'm not sure if this counts as systems or application engineering, but if you think your computer doesn't lie to you, try writing an nginx config. Those things aren't evaluated at /all/ the way they look like they are.

At no point have any of my nginx files ever flipped their own bits.

Are they a constant source of low level annoyance? Sure. But I've never had to look at a bus timing diagram to understand how to use one, nor worried about an nginx file being rotated 90 degrees and wired up wrong!
