Week 5: Quality of life, friction, papercuts...
In this business, we have a lot of ways of saying "hey, you know this kind of sucks, right?" I like to think of it as analogous to the 50 Words for Snow concept -- which, with all due to respect to Kate Bush for her album title, I believe has actually been discredited since as an overly exoticized way of viewing Inuit languages, but then again, I did a linguistics undergrad in the late 2000s, and it was popular at that time -- where am I going with this? Oh, right. We have a lot of ways for saying that something kind of sucks because a lot of things in open source software development kind of suck :)
