back to work after a couple days off
The popular "This is fine" comic strip. First picture depicts a dog sitting on a chair, with a coffee on a table next to him. Everything around him is engulfed in flames, there are smoke clouds above. The dog is unbothered. Second picture zooms into the dog, who smiles and says "This is fine". Everything's in fire. Clearly this is not fine.

just started A Space for the Unbound recently, it piqued my interest when browsing for games my public library had on their catalogue.

so far, it feels very comfy and heartwarming!

Parnas implies that the term is used for glamour and not semantic content, asserting, "In short, automatic programming always has been a euphemism for programming with a higher-level language than was presently available to the programmer." He argues, in essence, that in most cases it is the solution method, not the problem, whose specification has to be given.

Frederick P. Brooks, 1995.
“Automatic” programming. For almost 40 years, people have been anticipating and writing about “automatic programming”, the generation of a program for solving a problem from a statement of the problem specifications. Some people today write as if they expected this technology to provide the next breakthrough.
